Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine sent a request to the heads of Ukrainian embassies abroad to suspend all consular actions in relation to Ukrainian citizens of military age, with an exception for those who issue identity cards to return to Ukraine. The local publication “Zerkalo Nedeli” wrote about this. “The ban will remain in effect until clarification of the provisions of the law on strengthening mobilization is received,” clarifies the document for diplomatic institutions, signed by First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sibiga. “I instruct, starting April 23, to temporarily suspend consular actions based on applications from male Ukrainian citizens aged 18 to 60 years,” the publication quoted. As Regnum reported, the law on tightening mobilization in Ukraine, signed on April 16 by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, actually destroyed the rights of Ukrainians. Official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova announced this at a briefing on April 18. According to Zakharova, the new law will only lead to increased corruption in Ukraine and a stronger division of society. After the adoption of the law on mobilization, Ukrainians are actually storming the country’s embassies abroad in order to renew their passports before it comes into force on May 16 and not return to their homeland, the diplomat added. On April 11, the Verkhovna Rada adopted by a majority vote in the second and final reading a law on tightening mobilization rules. 283 parliamentarians voted for it, 21 voted against it, and 15 more abstained. The document introduces stricter procedures for mobilization, including tougher penalties for evading it. The law also clarified the categories of persons subject to mobilization, and the summons will be considered received even without being personally delivered to the person liable for military service. The document also provides for the obligation to wear a military ID for all those liable for military service between the ages of 18 and 60 and a fine or a forceful arrest in the TCC for violating this norm. Former speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Dmitry Razumkov said on April 13 that after the adoption of the law on mobilization, the Ukrainian people will become a death sentence for Zelensky and the deputies. According to him, demobilization and rotation removed from the law will deprive Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters of the opportunity to see their relatives and friends and relax. About ten men try to leave the territory of Ukraine every day using fake documents. This statement was made on April 21 by the speaker of the State Border Service of Ukraine Andrey Demchenko during a telethon. Posted by: badanov 2024-04-23 |
