Ukraine implements passport renewal restriction for military-age men [Video]

• Ukraine has announced that men aged 18 to 60, deemed fit for military service, can only renew their passports within Ukraine.
• The restriction aims to prevent potential soldiers from leaving the country.
• Millions of Ukrainians have fled the country since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, mostly to neighboring European countries.

Ukraine worked Thursday to get much-needed new supplies of weapons and ammunition from a huge U.S. aid package to its eastern front line, where Russia was pressing forward with its efforts to take ground from outnumbered and outgunned troops.

Ukraine is also seeking to reverse the drain of potential soldiers from the country, announcing that men of conscription age will no longer be able to renew their passports from outside the country.

The Cabinet of Ministers said Wednesday that men between 18 and 60 who are deemed fit for miliary service will only be able to renew their passports inside Ukraine.
