Quote: "Men aged 18 to 22 will be able to cross the border without restrictions during martial law. This applies to all citizens of the relevant age. 

This decision also concerns those who, for various reasons, are currently abroad. We want Ukrainians to maintain ties with Ukraine as much as possible. The changes will come into force the day after the resolution is officially published."

Background: On 12 August, during a meeting with participants of the Ukrainian Youth Forum, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had instructed the government to explore the possibility of simplifying border crossing for Ukrainians aged 18 to 22.
