Ukrainian government allows men aged 18-22 to go abroad

Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers has revised travel rules and allowed men aged 18 to 22 to cross the border, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said on Telegram on Aug. 26.

Ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 have been prohibited from leaving the country since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, with some exceptions. Men aged 25 to 60 can be conscripted into the armed forces.

On Aug. 12, Zelensky asked the Cabinet to relax border crossing rules for Ukrainian men aged 18 to 22.

On Aug. 18, Svyrydenko announced that the Cabinet was working on rules that would permit men aged 18 to 22 to cross the border.

On Aug. 22, a bill allowing them to cross the border was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament.

The dirty secret of the Ukrainian draft was that it was for older males above the age of 25.

Has the smell of radical euthanasia.

Ukraine faces wolves on both sides: Western neo-marxists, globalists, and bankers who control its government - and the Russian army on the other side.

Its population is scattered, its women do not bear children and the country is collapsing. Its choice is to send its last remaining young men into the meat-grinder on behalf of its Brussels-NATO masters, or it can try to somehow keep the flame of nationhood alive.

There are already plenty of fighting-age Ukrainian men in Poland.

In America 18 to 22 yo men were fodder for the Viet Nam meat grinder. It’s strange that Ukraine allows them to leave the country as it fights for its survival and is seeking foreign mercenaries to help in that battle. But then again, nothing about this war makes sense.

AI says the reason for the decision is so that young men can obtain training and education elsewhere that is not available to them in Ukraine during the war. The expectation is those trained/educated young men will return to Ukraine eventually. This also lessens the concern of families about these young men re obvious military risk if mobilization ever extended to that age.

Zelensky has a daughter of military age.

Why not just end the war, then make Russia pay to rebuild everything? The Ukraine gals can move back and whatever Ukraine boys remain will be happier.

As should be clear to all at this point, with 10 million barrels/day, no one has the power to make Russia do anything.

The world is powerless to compel their behavior. Historically, countries are only compelled by total military defeat. That is how Japan got Taiwan in 1898ish. That is how Mao got China.

The Arab countries tried to compel the behavior of the US towards Israel with an oil embargo. Didn’t work. The US tried to compel Japan behavior, also with an oil embargo. The result was war. Didn’t work.

People have to approach this problem from that fundamental starting point. Russia is too powerful to compel.

Keep in mind that you are a convicted liar.

"Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers has revised travel rules and allowed men THEIR SONS aged 18 to 22 to cross the border, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said on Telegram on Aug. 26."
