On May 22, Ukraine extended martial law in the country for another three months, until August 23, 2022. It was introduced on February 24th. Its action implies, among other things, a ban on male residents of Ukraine aged 18 to 60 years to travel outside the country.
On May 21, Ukrainians drew up a petition to lift the ban on the departure of men liable for military service from the country. The document collected more than 25,000 signatures in three days for consideration by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. On June 11, Zelenskiy rejected the petition, saying he plans to lift the restrictions only after martial law ends.
On May 30, Viktor Andrusiv, adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, offered to let men of military age leave the country for money. According to him, the situation in Ukraine will drag on for a long time, so the country needs strength. And those who want to travel outside the country must contribute $ 3-5 thousand for this.
