"A draft law on the mandatory return of Ukrainians from abroad has been submitted to the Verkhovna Rada in the event of martial law being introduced
According to the bill, if martial law is introduced in all of Ukraine or its individual parts, then people living abroad and subject to conscription will be required to return home within 15 days.
Valid reasons for not returning will only be natural disasters, business trips, inpatient treatment or other circumstances that prevent departure.
Failure to comply with this requirement will result in criminal prosecution.
Now it is forbidden for men aged 18 to 60 to leave Ukraine - with very rare exceptions."
