Kiev tightened conscription laws in April, including harsher punishments for those who oppose conscription and delayed discharge for those who serve. Now Ukraine will stop issuing passports to men between the ages of 18 and 60 living abroad.
This action is part of the Ukrainian government’s efforts to encourage men to return to their country.
