Ukrainian Men Abroad Scramble In Wake Of Mobilization Crackdown

Ukraine has announced new rules for men of fighting age living abroad -- leaving many in doubt about how the change will affect them. Ukrainian consulates have temporarily stopped providing services for citizens who have not updated their military records. Ukrainian males aged 18 to 60 who reside outside the country -- including those with permanent residence and families abroad -- scrambled to get the papers they need. Many expressed confusion about the new rules which will stay in place until May 18 when Ukraine’s new mobilization law takes effect.
