MOSCOW, April 17 (Reuters) - Aeroflot
on Thursday said Ukraine has informed the Russian airline it will impose
tight restrictions on the entry of Russian men into the country, where
pro-Russian separatist rebellions have broken out.
"Aeroflot is informing passengers about strict restrictions imposed by the Ukrainian authorities on entry into the country," the company said in a statement. It indicated men between the ages of 16 and 60 would be denied entry unless they had proof of a reason to visit, such as family ties or an invitation from a business or individual, or were traveling with their families.

Ukraine needs to take further measures and seek to end visas to agitators. This is all good news. Ukraine is acting in sovereign authority in an international circumstance it never expected. I congratulate them on continuing to push back against a far more powerful country that has no right to interfere with upcoming elections or it's national security.
