Employees of the Kharkiv border detachment did not let a Russian diplomat pass on Thursday who was banned from entering Ukraine, who planned to enter the territory of the country through the Kharkiv-passenger control post by the Moscow-Kharkiv train.

"When inspecting documents, the border guards established that one of the passengers of the train is the second secretary of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Kharkiv. The instruction of authorized state bodies on banning entry to the territory of Ukraine until 2023 was applied to the foreigner," the press service of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported.

The citizen of the Russian Federation was not allowed to enter the territory of Ukraine and was returned to the Russian Federation.
