The neighbouring countries of Ukraine have continued to keep their borders open to allow citizens wanting to leave the country access to a safe environment.
Embassies across Ukraine have moved closer to bordered zones and reception points have been set up along the Ukrainian border.
In a tweet this morning, CEO of Advantage Travel Partnership Julia Lo Bue-Said said:

‘Despite misleading information circulating on social media neighbouring countries’ borders remain open and have set up reception points along the Ukrainian border. Visa requirements being waived in most of the neighbouring countries too #Ukraine’
This comes after reports suggested Ukraine’s borders had been closed to those looking to leave the country as fighting intensified.
Expatriate’s can seek advice and help from their embassy within Ukraine or can access advice from their government websites.
