Border Crossing Rules Relaxed: Men Aged 18-22 Allowed to Leave During Martial Law
The Ukrainian government has announced a significant update to the border crossing regulations amidst the ongoing martial law.
Men aged 18 to 22 are now permitted to leave the country legally, marking a substantial change in procedures during wartime.
This decision was communicated by Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko via Telegram, emphasizing that the new rules apply to all Ukrainian citizens within this age bracket without exceptions.
Previously, border crossings for young men were tightly controlled due to mobilization and military measures, but recent developments now allow greater mobility for eligible individuals.
The government urges all responsible citizens to strictly follow these new guidelines and be prepared for possible additional checks during border crossing.
This policy shift aims to facilitate movement for young men, balancing national security concerns with individual rights during challenging times.
