Return of men of conscription age: Poland is waiting for an initiative from Ukraine

The head of the Polish Foreign Ministry said that this is a "morally difficult" issue for Warsaw, so they are waiting for an initiative from Kyiv.

Polish authorities believe that Ukraine should take the initiative to return men of military age from abroad. This was announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland Radoslav Sikorskyi in an interview with TVN24.

"Ukraine really needs to take the initiative here, because for us this is an ethically ambiguous issue. Although, of course, we understand that Ukraine needs its defenders to protect its Motherland," said the Polish official.

According to him, it is not yet known what ideas Ukraine is considering to return the men home, but Sikorsky called the initiative to limit consular services "interesting".

"Earlier, in December, when I was in Kyiv after being appointed to the position, the Ukrainian side spoke a little differently, but in the same direction. Namely, that they will have a certificate for their citizens that he has regulated relations with the military service. , and they asked at the level of the European Union not to provide social benefits to people who do not have such a certificate.
