The move, which will hinder the updating of official documents abroad, was quick to attract criticism.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine “announced the temporary suspension of accepting new applications for consular services” for men between the ages of 18 and 60. She made an exception for documents that would allow them to return to Ukraine.
The measure is likely to oblige Ukrainian men to travel to Ukraine for routine administrative procedures that previously could be done abroad.
It is indicated that such a decision is also linked to the mobilization law, which is to enter into force on May 18.
The law seeks to overhaul the conscription system by, among other things, toughening penalties for draft dodgers and forcing men to continually renew their military registration.
The ministry said the suspension of consular services was necessary to resolve “technical issues” related to the implementation of the new legislation.
She said men would be able to use consular services once the law goes into effect and “after renewing their military registration.”
“Male citizens of Ukraine between the ages of 18 and 60 with valid military registration documents will be able to use all consular services,” the statement said.

She was still living at the time in the Marche with her family but already as a child she had been called to support the Resistance. ‘For me it was a game, I had a pink apron with a big hem and I had the commitment to go and get a quarter of milk from a farm that belonged to my sister who was not yet 5 years old – she says holding a large flag in her hand with the rainbow of peace – When I arrived in the farmyard of this farm, on a piece of road that was visible from both sides, I had two choices in front of me: if at the beginning I ran it meant that there was a danger and the partisans did not arrive; if, however, I walked slowly then they slowly arrived and took a piece of paper. At that time no one called me Sonia, I heard this name for the first time when I grew up – he continues – to everyone I was “Lilla” (ANSA). »Read More
