President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the government is preparing to update the rules for crossing the state border for men aged 18 to 22.

He wrote about this in Telegram .

According to the president, all details have already been agreed with the military command, and appropriate decisions should be made in the near future.

The Head of State emphasized that the innovations will be one of the key decisions of the government, which is aimed at resolving mobilization issues and at the same time respecting citizens’ rights. The final mechanisms have yet to be approved, after which they will come into effect.

During the government meeting, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko also presented a report, focusing on other important areas. In particular, she discussed cooperation with Norway in preparation for the heating season and the continuation of grant assistance for the purchase of natural gas. The President thanked Norway for its stable support to Ukraine.

In addition, the government announced the expansion of the “eRecovery” program. It will provide new opportunities for compensation for property loss in temporarily occupied territories. According to Zelensky, the Prime Minister will present all the details of the program in the near future.

Thus, the announcement of changes in the rules for the departure of men aged 18–22, which are still in the preparation stage, caused the greatest public outcry.

Earlier , a bill was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada that could allow men aged 18 to 22 to travel abroad .

It is worth noting that Volodymyr Zelenskyy instructed the government to prepare changes that would simplify crossing the state border for men under the age of 22.

By the way, the Servant of the People proposed expanding the possibilities for Ukrainians to travel abroad during martial law, allowing this not only to young men, but also to everyone who has legal grounds for a deferment from mobilization.
