Ukraine is implementing stricter measures to bolster its defenses against Russia's invasion by tightening pressure on men of call-up age living abroad. The country has suspended consular services for such individuals as part of a broader overhaul of its mobilization rules.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced the suspension, emphasizing the need to 'restore fair attitudes' toward conscription. He highlighted that in the face of Russia's aggression, protecting the homeland is the top priority, and being abroad does not exempt citizens from their duties.
