A decision by the Ukrainian government to suspend consular services for military-aged men living abroad has left some men uncertain about their futures.

Ukraine has canceled its consular services for all military-aged men living abroad. This means all Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 who reside outside of the country are currently not able to renew their passports or receive other important government documents such as marriage certificates.

    One of those weird things about the Ukraine war that has gone totally unremarked in Western media, the fact that Ukraine rounded up most of its male population into poorly trained Volkssturm units that are basically just cannon fodder for Russian artillery

      I’ve seen it remarked upon in some lib circles… As a positive

      They believe any Ukranian male of fighting age who attempts to leave or dodge the draft is a coward complicit in genocide and should be either forced to the front or imprisoned for life

      I wish this was a joke yea
