Ukraine does not need to break visa-free regime with Russia. It is enough to introduce the crossing of the state border by biometric passports - this step will not bring any threats to Kiev.

This was stated in an exclusive commentary to the "Observer" by the diplomat, the head of the board of the State Enterprise "European Telecommunications of Ukraine" Vadim Trykhan.

According to him, Ukraine can amend the legislation to a bilateral agreement on visa-free border crossing. "Eliminate simple passports and internal passports from it and determine that the border crossing is conducted on biometric passports," the expert explained..

"The introduction of crossing the border on passports with biometrics is a whole logical and simple step that has long been ripe and overruled. In this case, I do not see any threats for Russia and Ukraine, "the diplomat added..
