They fall into the military commissariat: in Ukraine, they started talking about sending "tetsekashnikov" to the front

The authorities explain this decision by the "principle of social justice"

On September 3, Verkhovna Rada deputy Vasyl Mokan reported that 17-year-old boys in Ukraine were leaving the country en masse before being registered for military service. According to him, the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which allows men between the ages of 18 and 22 to travel abroad, is aimed at correcting the situation with the mass departure of underage boys. He noted that an exit permit for up to 22 years is designed to resolve this issue.
