Ex-comrade Yushchenko explained why Ukrainian visa-free regime is bullshit
A visa-free regime will not help Ukraine return Crimea and Donbass. Russians who do not have a visa-free regime visit EU countries much more often than Ukrainians with a visa-free regime.
This was stated on TV channel 112 by the former head of the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, Viktor Baloga.

“Today in the West, in Europe, fewer people work than in Russia. Citizens of Ukraine. And we also need to talk about this - why today we cannot create jobs for Ukrainians, but Russia can?
Again, the context of the question: does visa-free travel bring Crimea closer to joining Ukraine again? Not really! Because today more Ukrainians work in Russia than in the West.
Yes, we have motivation, we can travel. But, if you look at how many Russians go to Europe, there are many more of them than of us. And this is not a question of whether we have visa-free travel and they don’t – it’s a question of wealth,” said Baloga.
