WE REMIND that the passage of persons across the state border is carried out by authorized officials of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine on valid passport or other documents provided by law and international agreements. At the same time, in exceptional cases, border guards may make separate decisions on the admission of persons traveling abroad for humanitarian purposes in search of protection from russian aggression. The more documents issued by the state bodies of Ukraine, such a person will be able to present during passport control, the easier it will be to decide on his admission. Border guards can also take into account whether hostilities have taken place or whether government agencies are operating in the region from which the person is leaving.
