New Ukraine law lets men 18–22 leave country, raising fears of demographic losses
On Aug. 28, 2025, the Ukrainian parliament published a law allowing men aged 18 to 22 to leave the country. The document came into force after several years of debate and anticipation, as young men of this age group had been under a complete travel ban since the beginning of the full-scale war. Its adoption is therefore described by many as one of the most awaited decisions in recent years.
