Ukraine made no decision to ban French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen from entering the country, Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) chief of staff Oleksandr Tkachuk said.

"No decision was made on an entry ban. Following the assessment of all information and government agencies' opinions, a collegial decision was made not to ban entry for the moment," Tkachuk told journalists in Kyiv on Monday when asked if the Foreign Ministry had agreed with the SBU position on the travel ban.

It was reported that French presidential candidate Le Pen had stated that the return of Crimea and Sevastopol to Russia was fair.

Her remarks prompted the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry to express its indignation on January 3.

For its part, the SBU wrote to the Foreign Ministry to agree on possibilities of barring Le Pen from the country.
