Russia-Ukraine Tension: Russians Aged 16-60 Banned From Entering Country

Local Editor

Ukraine will not allow Russian men aged 16 to 60 years into the country during martial law, according to the State Border Service chief as tension mounts over the Russian seizure of three Ukrainian vessels.

Ukraine raised concern over fears of a potential Russian ‘invasion’ after forces seized three Ukrainian vessels and 24 soldiers in the Black Sea last week.

Ukrainian President Poroshenko warned that the clash at sea could herald more drastic developments in the simmering Ukraine-Russia military standoff.

"I don't want anyone to think this is fun and games. Ukraine is under threat of full-scale war with Russia," Poroshenko said in an interview with national television.

Tensions with Russia over Ukraine have clouded the scene in Argentina as world leaders are set to meet for the annual G20 summit.
