The lawyer assessed this step by the authorities as “necessary.” and "not critical".
The restriction on the issuance of documents by Ukrainian consulates applies to all men of military age (i.e. from 18 to 60 years old).
A member of the National Bar Association Oleg Gorbachev said this in a comment to OBOZ.UA.
He emphasized that it does not depend on how long ago they crossed border and how long they live in another state, if they still have a Ukrainian passport.
“That is, if you have a Ukrainian passport and want to use it freely, then you need to comply with the requirements of the mobilization legislation. There are none in the resolution The Cabinet of Ministers, which concerned changes in obtaining passports for citizens of military age abroad, there are no such rules that if he has residence there in another state, that is, they apply exclusively to all citizens, without any restrictions,” he emphasized. .
He also expressed his own opinion about the authorities’ decision. The lawyer assessed this step by the authorities as “necessary.”
“Many people have received asylum and a document on temporary protection, they can use it. I don’t even know why they should have a Ukrainian passport abroad. They have documents on temporary protection, they can use them, and use the corresponding services in those countries on the basis of it,” Gorbachev explained.
We recall that earlier the government explained what to expect for Ukrainians in Poland after the suspension of consular services.
