As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on August 12, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he had instructed the Cabinet of Ministers to work out the possibility of simplifying border crossing for citizens under 22 years of age.
On August 18, Svyrydenko announced that the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine may adopt a resolution by the end of this week that will allow men under 22 years of age to travel abroad.
As a reminder, in May of this year, Education Minister Oksen Lisovyi admitted that Ukrainians take their children abroad after they finish school.
