Will the US help Ukraine return men from abroad? The State Department answered
Kyiv • UNN
The U.S. State Department considers the suspension of consular services abroad for Ukrainian men of mobilization age to be a "complex issue" and respects Ukraine's right to determine its own policy, but has not yet decided whether to assist Ukraine in bringing the men home.
The US State Department has called the suspension of consular services abroad for Ukrainian men of mobilization age a "complicated issue". This was stated by Daniel Sizek, an official representative of the US diplomatic mission in Brussels, in a commentary to Radio Liberty, UNN reports.
It's a difficult question, of course, what to do especially with men who are now outside of Ukraine. But the Ukrainian government has the right to determine its policy. There is no decision or position yet from the U.S. government on whether or not to help Ukraine in this area

Sizek also added that the fate of Ukraine's citizens is primarily its business, and noted that the Ukrainian government should "act carefully on this issue.
It's clear that we need people for the Armed Forces to defend the country... It's a complicated issue and it's hard to say. What is important is that Europe, and to some extent the United States as well, welcomed Ukrainians who decided that they and their families needed to leave Ukraine, and this was another important part of Europe's support, for example. At the same time, it is right that the Ukrainian government needs to study the situation intensively and seriously. And the situation with regard to people is natural for the Armed Forces, and the U.S. government respects the right of the Ukrainian government to determine its policy
Recall
The day before, the Ukrainian government banned the sending of foreign passports and passports of Ukrainian citizens abroad. According to the government's resolution of April 23, men aged 18 to 60 will be able to obtain the documents only in Ukraine.
On April 23, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine restricted the provision of consular services to men aged 18-60 abroad, including the processing of applications for passports and their issuance. As explained by the Ministry, this is due to the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of a law on mobilization, which will come into force on May 18, 2024.
