Ukraine has put increased pressure on military-age citizens living abroad to return to the country. The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine has temporarily suspended the acceptance of new applications for consular services for Ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 residing outside the country. This move is aimed at verifying and updating the information on the military status of these individuals who are temporarily abroad.
The Foreign Ministry has not specified how they will handle individuals who are illegally staying abroad. Previously, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba ordered measures to restore the balance between men of military age in Ukraine and those abroad. Recently, Kiev tightened the rules for soldier mobilization, with harsher punishments for conscientious objectors and delayed release for those completing military service. After over two years of war, Ukraine has struggled to recruit new soldiers to its army, falling behind Russian aggressors.
