From July 1, 2022, Russian citizens will require a visa for entry to Ukraine for any travel purpose. The government of Ukraine has denounced the bilateral treaty that allowed visa-free travel between the two countries. Additionally, according to the same resolution, Russian citizens (including temporary residence permit holders and diplomats) are restricted from entry, exit, transit, stay, and any movement within Ukraine effective immediately. Russian citizens found in Ukraine during this period could be subject to administrative measures such as fines, deportation, entry bans or detention. Authorities have not yet published guidance on how Russian citizens legally resident in Ukraine prior to the current legislative change can regularize their status.
