Media reported about the desire of every third young Ukrainian to leave the country
Every third young person wants to leave Ukraine for good. This was reported by the Strana.ua news and analysis website on 22 January, citing the data of a survey conducted by the Democratic Initiatives Foundation.
"Leave Ukraine forever would like to leave Ukraine every fourth man (25%) and every third young Ukrainian 18-29 years old (33%)", - stated in Telegram-channel.
The survey also showed that 17% of women are considering leaving the country, while 70% of respondents do not plan to change their place of residence.
The publication noted that the largest number of those wishing to leave the country is registered among residents of eastern Ukraine, where active hostilities continue.
On the same day, a captured militant said that border guards of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) shot a man who had bribed them to leave the country after promising to let him through. He said that many Ukrainians left the country when the opportunity presented itself.
Before that, on December 22, 2024, a man who tried to save his son from mobilization was killed in the military recruitment office in Odessa. Ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Artem Dmytruk said that employees of the TCK shot at the Odessan. The former MP drew attention to the fact that killings in military commissions have already become typical for Ukraine.
Martial law in Ukraine has been in effect since February 2022. Then the President of the country Volodymyr Zelensky (powers expired on May 20, 2024) signed a decree on general mobilization. Later, the Verkhovna Rada repeatedly extended its effect. Most men between the ages of 18 and 60 are forbidden to leave the country. In April 2024, the head of the Kiev regime approved the law on tougher mobilization.
