“I haven’t planned any trips yet and I already have a (Schengen) visa, but I’m really happy for my mom, who can now join me for any journey without going through the complicated process of getting a visa.”
Raisa Havrylova,
retiree
“I am a retiree, I can’t afford traveling. With Ukraine receiving visa-free regime, nothing changes in my life.”
Dmytro Klymenko,
businessman
“I’m going to visit Poland and Germany in order to buy a car. I’m glad I don’t have to go through this humiliating procedure anymore. I always felt like a second-class human asking for a visa in the embassies and waiting for their decision.”
Kostyantyn Zadorozhniy,
public servant
“I can have any trip without travel liberalization. Honestly, I think politicians play their games with visa-free promises, while we have much more important issues, like war, and the peace deals that nobody implements.”
Davyd Chorniy,
student
“I haven’t planned any journeys yet, but I definitely will. I think it will be a great opportunity for people to travel much easier than before.”
Valeriy Hryshchuk,
scientist
“I have never had problems with getting a visa. That’s why I think that travel liberalization will only harm those who work in the EU countries illegally. Europe will put them under stricter control, and send them back home, where they will join the unemployed.”
