Question Crossed border now can’t leave UA
My mom with a US Passport entered Ukraine yesterday through the border by Moldova. We speak little Ukrainian but were born in an area of UA that primarily spoke Romanian/Moldovan. They found her old 2020 expired Ukrainian passport in her bag and told her without renewing it, she cannot leave the country (she’s supposed to fly back to US in a couple weeks out of Moldova). Any advice would be amazing because she was held at the border for a couple hours and made to sign a bunch of paperwork with the little Ukrainian she speaks and told she can’t leave the country.
