Ukrainian schoolchildren who have gone abroad must return by the age of 17 and obtain a military conscription certificate – representative of the Poltava Territorial Recruitment Center says

Ukrainian schoolchildren who have gone abroad must return by the age of 17 and obtain a military conscription certificate.

This was stated by Roman Istomin, a representative of the Poltava Territorial Recruitment Center.

“We will not send letters, for example, abroad, stating that he must appear. In general – yes, he must return to Ukraine, if he is a citizen, he is subject to conscription,” Istomin said.

They are also recommended to contact the Ukrainian consulate. Although it is not entirely clear why, since it does not issue conscription certificates.
