The Ukrainian State Border Service has eased border crossing regulations for those injured during the disturbances in the capital city and who require medical treatment abroad.

“The State Border Service administration has decided to ease the
border-crossing regulations for the individuals who were injured during a
violent standoff in Kyiv and need treatment abroad,” the agency said in
a press release.

The relevant order has already been obtained by border officers at a
separate Kyiv checkpoint for letting people pass through Boryspil and
Kyiv International Airports, the statement said.

“Under article 8 of the Ukrainian border control law, a fast-tracked
easier procedure will apply to injured individuals, including those
without papers, but on the basis of appropriate lists,” the statement
said.
