Ukrainian economist Andrey Blinov points out this paradox on his Facebook page.
“About how we don’t communicate... According to the head of the State Border Service Petr Tsigikal, for the entire 2016, 4,1 million Ukrainian citizens traveled to Russia. Over the nine months of 2017, the number of such departures exceeded 5,7 million. The number of Russians entering Ukraine in 2016 was 1,5 million people. (1,4 million people for January-September 2017),” writes Blinov.
