More on the previous restrictions
The restrictions had been in force since January 2023, when President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy enacted a decision by the National Security and Defence Council restricting travel outside Ukraine for public officials, which also applied to women holding the relevant positions. They were allowed to leave the country only on official business trips.
