Ukraine is to be added to the EU’s ‘green list’ of non-EU nations not subject to Covid travel restrictions,

according to a decision taken yesterday in Brussels by ambassadors of the 27 nations to the European Council. Expected to formalized on Friday, the listing is a recommendation and is not legally binding. Prime Minister Shmygal welcomed the decision, writing on Telegram: “The final decision is up to Member States, but in fact the EU has greenlighted so that Ukrainians can freely travel to Europe.” New Covid cases have fallen to about 500 a day in Ukraine, the lowest level in one year.
