Does the Ukraine travel ban for Russian men apply to (non-Ukrainian) dual nationals?
I am considering going to Ukraine sometime in the future. I am a dual national, Russian and French; male, aged about 30.
European Union citizens are currently allowed to enter Ukraine visa-free (for 90 days).
Russian men aged from 16 to 60, on the other hand, are routinely turned away at the border. Since the latest incident, they have been banned from entering the country altogether, for an indefinite amount of time.
In these circumstances, would I be able to enter?
Of course my plan is to show my French passport first. However I may raise suspicions, since I have a Russian name and (if arriving from Russia) my French passport does not contain a Russian visa. Is it likely that the border guard could ask me if I have any other citizenship, then turn me away?

UPDATE: Just received information from the Ukrainian border agency that the ban does not apply if you fly to Ukraine. Of course, Russians may still be subject to additional scrutiny.
So just present your French passport as usual, and if they ask any questions, co-operate and be honest.
