Ukrainian men protest Zelensky’s new measure cutting all consular services to them in Poland
About 300 Ukrainians have blocked their country’s consular office in Warsaw, demanding passports they have been denied under Kiev’s new mobilization rules.
Men between the ages of 18 and 60 can no longer receive documents at consular offices outside Ukraine, the Foreign Ministry said earlier this week. Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba has confirmed he ordered the measure, intended to force refugees of fighting age to return and be conscripted into the military.
“It’s a disaster,” AFP quoted a 46-year-old artilleryman on the Donetsk front, identified only as Alexander.“When a person knows when he is going to be demobilized he will have a different attitude. If he is like a slave then it will not lead to anything good,” he added.

Ukrainian casualties are now nearly 500,000 men and despite military squads snatching men off the streets it is impossible to replace them.

All Ukrainian men between age 18 and 60 will have to register, including those abroad. Failure to do so will count as evading military service. To make sure that compliance can be policed easily, all registered men must have their registration papers on them at all times.
A new mobilization law that has just passed the Ukrainian parliament.
Earlier in the day, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said that Warsaw would be willing to “help” Kiev repatriate men of fighting age, an unspecified portion of some 950,000 Ukrainians granted temporary sanctuary in Poland.
“I think many Poles are outraged when they see young Ukrainian men in hotels and cafes, and they hear how much effort we have to make to help Ukraine,” Kosiniak-Kamysz told the TV outlet Polsat News.
About 4.3 million Ukrainians lived in EU countries as of January 2024, according to Eurostat estimates. Of that number, some 860,000 were men of military age.
The Ukrainian parliament voted on Wednesday to add 15,000 members to the state border guard, citing the spike in draft-dodgers trying to leave the country. After the expansion, the service will have 75,000 members, including 67,000 guards under arms.
