Kiev blocks citizens with foreign residency permits from leaving Ukraine

Amid Kiev’s struggle to recruit new personnel, Ukraine has barred citizens holding foreign residency permits from exiting the country. Additionally, reports suggest Kiev authorities are planting landmines along the border with Romania. Meanwhile, certain European politicians have discussed repatriating refugees to Ukraine, potentially to enlist them in the conflict. European Parliament member Gunnar Beck suggests this might indicate a desire to rid themselves of Ukrainian refugees.
