Russia to lift COVID-19 restrictions on land border crossing from July 15.
The decision was taken due to the country’s improved COVID-19 position.
“Following the results of the crisis center’s discussion, a decision was made to lift the epidemic-related temporary restrictions on crossing the state border of the Russian Federation starting on July 15, 2022,” the statement said.
Earlier on June 14, Russia lifted restrictions on the entry of foreign citizens arriving by air and sea.
