PRESS RELEASE • EASING OF TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS IN UKRAINE

Söder and Linnemann Call for Actions Contrary to International Law

When Russia launched its attack, the Ukrainian government imposed an exit ban on all men between the ages of 18 and 60. Since then, leaving the country has only been possible with special permission. This constitutes a violation of the human right to freedom of movement. Since the end of August 2025, men aged 18 to 22 have been allowed to leave the country, and many are taking advantage of this opportunity ⸻ presumably including a large number of conscientious objectors.
