The Verkhovna Rada discusses the possibility of allowing men under 24 to travel abroad

The head of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk, confirmed that an initiative is being discussed to allow men aged 18 to 25 to travel abroad. He noted that this topic is being debated in parliament, including the work of a special committee. Men in this age range are not subject to mobilization but have some restrictions on the exercise of their rights.

“Therefore, we must find a mechanism that will provide them with the opportunity to fully exercise their rights. I am waiting for the results of the committee's work on liberalization,” said Ruslan Stefanchuk.

People's Deputy Fyodor Venislavsky previously expressed the opinion of raising the age limit for obtaining permission for young men to travel abroad to 23-24 years.

New amendments regarding travel abroad

In particular, starting from July 17, 2024, men aged 18 to 60 will be required to have a military ticket to leave Ukraine. In this context, a story is mentioned about a woman who tried to transport her fiancé across the border in a specific secluded place in her car.

The Parliament of Ukraine is considering the possibility of allowing young men aged 18 to 25 to travel abroad. This initiative is part of the discussion in the Verkhovna Rada, where various opinions are also expressed regarding the requirements for traveling abroad for other age categories of citizens.
