The Cabinet of Ministers allowed sailors to go abroad. This will be possible with the agreement of the territorial picking center. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal in Telegam.
"Sailors will be able to cross the border only with the approval of the territorial recruitment center," he wrote.
According to him, men who are crew members of sea and river vessels and continue to work on ships will be allowed to go abroad. And also to students (cadets) of educational institutions who have to undergo practical training on a ship.
As Shmyhal noted, Ukraine is one of the world leaders in terms of the number of highly qualified sailors. More than 100,000 Ukrainians work in global merchant shipping.
"Therefore, such a decision will provide employment for thousands of sailors and increase revenues to the budget," the prime minister added.
