An average of 6,000 men of military age leave Ukraine every day. These data were provided by a representative of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Ihor Matviychuk.
According to him, 45% of this number are truck drivers, and 150-200 men cross the border as volunteers.
Other cases, Matviychuk said, are often related to fraud.
For example, cases of men of military age marrying mothers with many children have recently become more frequent. There are no restrictions on traveling abroad for parents with many children.
There has also been an increase in the number of trips abroad by men accompanying people with disabilities. According to a representative of the Border Guard Service, there is a gap in the law – there is no mechanism for checking whether the accompanying person has returned.
Matviychuk also spoke about a case where the gender was changed from male to female in the documents, but the citizen had no signs or official confirmation of gender transition.
Background. As a reminder, in November, the SBU and the NPU neutralized another scheme to smuggle fugitives abroad. The men were being transported by ambulance to a European country, bypassing checkpoints.
