Ukraine is temporarily closing checkpoints on its borders with Russia and Belarus due to Moscow's ongoing attacks.
"The government has decided to temporarily close all checkpoints on the state border with Russia and Belarus," Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said in an official statement.
Ukrainian citizens who were in either country and wanted to return could continue to do so, however, he said. "Come back and prove that you stand for the good!"
