Pogrebinsky: ban Kiev to enter the passports of the Russian Federation is caused by pressure

The decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine about the ban on the entry of Russian citizens on the ground of domestic passports has the opportunity to be associated with the pressure of a number of Ukrainian deputies and West, and with the desire of Ukraine to close the border for Ukrainians, who are trying to defend mobilization, said Last news Director of the Kyiv Center for political studies and conflictology Mikhail Pogrebinsky.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has banned the entry of citizens of the Russian Federation on the ground of domestic passports from March 1, 2015, the proper resolution was adopted on 30 January.

"First, there is the pressure from the part of the Ukrainian people's representatives and European politicians who say Europe has adopted a number of sanctions against Russia, and Ukraine in General won't even do that. It is easiest for the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers to take such a Decision, which responds to this pressure, " explained the expert.

Moscow, in his vision, can take the symmetric response, but " it will create problems for a large number of Ukrainian Residents who travel to work "." at present, the Ukrainian government is doubly interested in this because it wants to block the channel for people who are trying to defend mobilization. Hence the double meaning: a response to pressure, and to close the opportunity for people 60 years of age who do not have foreign passports to escape from danger mobilization, " believes Pogrebinsky.

according to him, one of the arguments of the authorities to explain its decision can be a desire to protect the appearance as if the Russian military in Ukraine.

before the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the decree of the President of Petro Poroshenko to hold in 2015 fourth wave partial mobilization, which will be held in 3 stages. 1st of them will last 90 days will begin tentatively in April and will last for sixty days.
