Kiev has changed abstract reflection into actions aimed to halt the railway and bus communication with Russia, RIA Novosti reports.

According to Ukraine’s Minister of Infrastructure Vladimir Omelyan, the Ministry has already prepared a draft document setting new restrictions in transport communication with Russia. The official called the document "historical" and said that after its adoption "only bears will go" from Ukraine to Moscow. The Ukrainian government of will consider the document as soon as possible.

The Ministry's plans are not impeded by the fact that it is the Russia-Ukraine railway routes are the most profitable ones. Last year the most profitable trains were Kiev - Moscow, Odessa - Moscow and Kiev - St. Petersburg.

Ukraine plans repressions against their own citizens as many Ukrainian labor migrants and individuals use the railways going to Russia, Deputy Prime Minister of the Crimean government Dmitry Polonsky states. Crimean residents will not be affected by the actions of Kyiv and will only feel sympathy for Ukrainians who will suffer from new bans, he says.

Russkiy Mir reported earlier that the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine had already discussed termination of railroad communication with Russia. Last December he said that Ukrainians simply have nothing to do in Russia. Omelyan admited that millions of Ukrainians have relatives in Russia but he invited them to return to Ukraine.
