On August 26, the Government of Ukraine adopted a decree allowing Ukrainians between the ages of 18 and 22 to cross the state border without hindrance. On August 28, a representative of the State Border Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, reported that Ukrainian citizens aged 18 to 22 had begun to leave the country since the beginning of the decree.

Verkhovna Rada deputy Roman Kostenko said that permission to cross the border for military personnel aged 18 to 22 negatively affects the process of mobilization in the country and worsens the situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
