The government lifted restrictions on the departure of conscripts whose relatives died or went missing while participating in the ATO [anti-terrorist operation].
The press service of the Cabinet of Ministers writes about this.
Such conscripted citizens are not subject to conscription for military service during mobilization.
The government explains that the changes to the Rules for Crossing the State Border by Ukrainian Citizens were intended to "avoid unfair restrictions on the rights of family members" of those who died or went missing during the anti-terrorist operation (from the beginning of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation in 2014 to April 30, 2018).
- The Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian Parliament) extended martial law and general mobilization until November 15.
- Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, martial law has been imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization has been declared, which prohibits conscripts from leaving the country, except for certain exceptions.
