12 сентября 2022
A petition requesting that Ukrainian citizens should be allowed to cross the border to Russia and Belarus to meet with relatives, resolve inheritance issues, and establish cultural and economic ties appeared Monday on the website of Vladimir Zelensky. 

The Ukrainian authorities announced the cessation of crossing the border with Russia and Belarus after the start of the Russian special operation.

"Please, allow crossing the border of Ukraine with Russia and Belarus for the citizens of Ukraine to be able to manage the issues of inheritance, meet with relatives, maintain cultural, economic ties. Everyone has relatives, why is the EU open for departure, while people cannot see relatives and all economic and cultural ties with the countries of the Slavs are destroyed?" - reads the text of the petition on the website of Zelensky's office. The petition was registered on September 12.
