There are several reasons for the ban on entry to Ukraine from the Russian Federation. One of them is if a person poses a threat to national security (for example, due to public support for the occupation of Crimea).
Among the loudest scandals due to the ban on entry to Ukraine is the story of Philip Kirkorov, whom on June 23, the Ministry of Culture, on the proposal of the Security Service of Ukraine, included in the list of persons who pose a threat to national security, and already on June 27 excluded.
In addition, on July 2, the Kiev District Administrative Court opened proceedings against the lawsuit of the Russian musician Morgenstern in the SBU. The singer filed a lawsuit due to the fact that he was banned from entering Ukraine: this year he planned to give concerts in Kiev, Kharkov and Zaporozhye.
