The official said: “We've received a separate list of the persons, whose right to go to a foreign state from Russia's territory is restricted. We are now integrating the data into Russian and Belarusian databases. We've started sharing the relevant data with Russia. The work should be finished by 1 April.”
In his words, Russia has shared information about some 3,000 citizens, who are not allowed to leave the country. The sides expect that removing a citizen from the exit ban database will not take more than 24 hours. “If it is not a public holiday or weekend, we expect it will be done within 24 hours,” the official said.
