Ukraine's Largest Party to Oppose Scrapping Visa-Free Regime With Russia
MOSCOW (Sputnik) Russia will take appropriate measures if Ukraine reinstates visa travel for Russian passport-holders, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday.

Andriy Parubiy, the speaker of Ukraine's parliament, said this week he wanted to renew debate on reinstating the visa regime with Russia.

"If a decision is made to infringe on the interests of ordinary people and the visa regime is introduced, then of course this situation will be reviewed and Russia will make decisions it deems necessary in its own interests," Peskov told reporters.

Parubiy first introduced the draft resolution to abolish a bilateral agreement on visa-free travel between Ukraine and Russia earlier this year.

He called on the parliament to review the issue following the detention of alleged Ukrainian spy in Russia last week.
