Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman has suggested organizing interdepartmental groups at checkpoints on the state border with the EU to help Ukrainian citizens in case of difficulties with crossing the border after the introduction of a visa-free regime with the EU.

“If necessary, there should be representatives of the relevant services, possibly at the crossing points. It is possible to form some interdepartmental groups on the borders in order for them to work on some technical issues that need to be resolved,” Groysman said at a government meeting in Kyiv on Wednesday.

Addressing First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Vadym Prystaiko, the premier asked him to consider this matter.

“When the visa-free regime is introduced, we need to properly organize the work of all services – the border services, our consulates, embassies, so that we should fight for the rights of each citizen,” Groysman said.
