The Border is Closed. Or about to be
Just a word of warning to those who are planning to come to Ukraine starting Sunday and continuing for the next two weeks, at least. The Ukrainian government has closed the border to all foreigners who wish to enter the country except diplomats. You will be turned away at the airport or border so postpone or cancel your travel plans if you are planning on coming here at this time.
This closure is also open to extension depending on circumstances so two weeks is not a definite rule, it could be longer. Also, the exact list of who can come in will probably also be published tomorrow but don't count on entry if you have a foreign passport.
Frankly, it does not make anything better for those of us still here since there is an undercurrent of justified anxiety.
Slight Correction to the earlier post
A clearer version of the border closure was just posted by the government. Ukraine will stop all civilian air flights beginning on March 17 at 00:00 hours and all passengers on any flight for the following two weeks, and this is important, be they Ukrainian citizens or foreigners will not be allowed to fly in. Also included in the closure are all land transit points including rail travel as well as all seaports. It is through the land and seaports which Ukrainian citizens may be able to return but not foreigners.
If you have plans now, change or cancel them for the time being.
