He reminded that since 00.00 on 17 July, border guards have been checking the presence of a military registration document for all Ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 when leaving Ukraine.

I would also like to note that the categories of persons who are allowed to leave Ukraine in accordance with the Rules for Crossing the Border by Citizens of Ukraine have not changed to date," Demchenko summed up.
Earlier it was reported that starting from 17 July 2024, men aged 18 to 60 will not be allowed to leave Ukraine without a military ID.
