Decision of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine on the restriction of passenger traffic with the Russian Federation even before its entry into force begins to be presented as Kiev's desire to further "distance" from Moscow, worsen the living conditions of its citizens and lose its own profit. These are the main reasons for the comments of Russian propagandists. In our country there are also a lot of dissatisfied comments - and from those who have long been used to maintain the pro-Russian propaganda background and simply from the "useful idiots" of the Kremlin.

One could quote the Minister of Infrastructure Vladimir Omelyan in response, who notes that "if we are at war, then there is nothing to go there". However, it is better to remind that the restrictions of the passenger message were first introduced by Russia, and not by Ukraine. In our side for a long time already go exactly Ukrainian, but not Russian trains. Russia did its utmost to prevent passenger communication. On the construction of railroads bypassing Ukraine, which Russian railway workers take pride in, I do not even mention them - these are well-known facts. So travel by rail is supported only by Ukrainian efforts.

Almost the same thing happened with the aviation report. It is commonly believed that it was stopped by Ukraine. But this is another Russian lie. The Ukrainian government imposed sanctions against Russian companies that continued flights to the occupied Crimea. But Russian companies that did not violate Ukrainian law could continue flying. In response, the Russian government forbade flying to all Ukrainian companies, while none of them did not violate Russian legislation. And only after that, the frankly wrongful decision of Moscow, the air communication between our countries was finally interrupted.

So the point is not that Ukrainians should not go to a country that conducts a "hybrid" war with us, occupies our territories, kills our citizens. Such trips are a private matter for everyone, just the state itself should not be an ally of immorality and collaboration. However, the most important thing is that the initiative to stop the passenger communication between Ukraine and Russia actually comes from Russia, and not from Ukraine. And everyone who claims to the government of our country should know this.
