Ukraine and Israel have finished all of the domestic procedures necessary for putting into effect an agreement on mutual visa-free travel

"Recently the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry received a note from the Israeli side reporting that they have also finished all of the necessary domestic procedures for bringing this agreement into effect," Deputy Foreign Minister Yevhen Mykytenko said at a briefing.

He noted that Kyiv had been the first to complete all procedures needed to bring into effect the agreement on visa-free travel with Israel. Due to many recent holidays, the process of completing all necessary procedures was delayed in Israel.

Mykytenko added that since all of the necessary procedures had been completed, after 90 days Ukrainians and Israelis would be able to travel to their respective countries without having to get visas.
