（路透）烏克蘭已經廢除簽訂於蘇聯時期、允許北韓人免簽證入境的協議。北韓自3月遭聯合國安理會施加更嚴格制裁以來，承受的壓力與日俱增，烏克蘭的決定使孤立的北韓再受挫折。
(Reuters) – Ukraine has revoked a Soviet-era deal that allowed visa-free travel for North Koreans, the latest setback for isolated North Korea which has been under growing pressure since the UN Security Council imposed toughened new sanctions in March.
路透記者看到的一份烏克蘭政府文件顯示，烏克蘭政府7月27日通過一項行政命令，終止與北韓之間的協定，不再允許兩國國民免簽入境。北韓是烏克蘭麵粉的一大買主。
A Ukraine government document seen by Reuters said that the government approved a decree on July 27 to terminate the pact with North Korea, a major buyer of Ukraine’s flour, that had allowed visa-free travel between the two countries.

The document, signed by Ukraine Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, said the withdrawal of visa-waiver agreement would “prevent ineligible persons from entering Ukraine."
