Men aged 18 to 22 can now cross Ukraine's border freely, sparking minimal rush. The State Border Service confirms no significant exit spikes, alleviating fears of a mass departure. The government's resolution lets these young men travel abroad without restrictions, provided they present a military registration document. The move aims to balance national security with individual freedom during martial law. However, Prime Minister Svyrydenko plans to revise the travel ban for non-military female officials. Additionally, discussions continue on allowing men up to age 24 more leniency. This rule change offers a unique shift in Ukraine’s border policy during ongoing tensions.

What are the new border crossing rules for men under 22 in Ukraine?

Men aged 18 to 22 in Ukraine are now allowed to cross the border freely during martial law. They must have a military registration document in paper or electronic form. This change aims to facilitate travel without causing a mass exit from the country.

Why is there no rush at the Ukraine border despite new travel rules?

The recent policy allowing men under 22 to travel abroad hasn't caused a rush because the change is strategic, ensuring that men can leave without impacting national security. Authorities report stable border activity, indicating the measure is well-managed.

What documents are required for young men to cross the Ukrainian border?

Men aged 18-22 wishing to cross Ukraine’s border must present a military registration document. This document can be either in paper or electronic form, ensuring that travelers comply with military oversight during martial law conditions.

Are there any plans to change travel rules for women in Ukraine during martial law?

Yes, Prime Minister Svyrydenko announced that the government will review the current travel ban on non-military female officials within two weeks. This evaluation aims to address gender-specific travel restrictions under martial law conditions.

What future changes might affect Ukraine's border travel policies?

The Verkhovna Rada is considering proposals to further ease travel restrictions for men up to age 24 who are not subject to conscription. This legislative consideration reflects ongoing efforts to balance freedom of movement with national security requirements.
