FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT

Since the beginning of military aggression of Russia in 2014, Ukraine faced numerous atypical problems, which had never had a place in peaceful Ukraine. Obstacles on freedom of movement are one of the major issues for the population of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
Ukraine consists of 27 regions: autonomous republic (Crimea), 24 oblasts and two cities with special status (Kyiv and Sevastopol). Crimean peninsula in the south of Ukraine consists of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, both of them were occupied and officially annexed by the Russian Federation in 2014. Until now, they are under full control of Russia. Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the east of Ukraine have been under unofficial occupation of Russia since 2014 until now and are de facto controlled by Russia. Non-government controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions are separated from the government-controlled areas of Ukraine by the contact line, which is a frontline as well.
