On 23 July it was claimed that the head of the State Duma on international Affairs Alexei Pushkov explained the refusal of the EU to issue Schengen visas to Ukrainians distrust. Remember, the Ukrainian media reported that the Ukrainian citizens began to face increased difficulties in the capture of Schengen visas. In early summer, the head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has criticized the work of the State migration service, threatening the dismissal of the officials that impede the achievement of visa-free regime between Ukraine and the European Union. Also Poroshenko said that the Ukrainian staff of the foreign Ministry are required to achieve the introduction of a visa-free regime with the European Union in 2016. Prior to this, the source reported that the European Union will be able to note the visa regime with Ukraine only after graduation or complete freeze on its territory of armed conflict. The head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has stated many times that the deputies of the European Parliament will help Ukraine " in 2016 to get visa-free regime ". For its part, the Plenipotentiaries of the EU was announced in September of the current year to consider the report of the European Commission on visa regime with Ukraine.
