“I understand Ukrainian authorities’ efforts to ensure soldiers are sent to the front,” said the Minister of National Defense. He also expressed solidarity with Ukrainians fighting on the frontlines, stating that their grievances towards compatriots leaving the country to avoid conscription are justified.

Meanwhile, Kosiniak-Kamysz hinted at Poland's potential assistance in transporting Ukrainian citizens subject to military service obligation back to Ukraine. He asserted that any support extended would be an expression of mutual solidarity.

“It is the duty of every citizen in a given country (...), Ukrainian citizens have duties towards the state,” commented the Minister of National Defense. “We have long suggested that we are also able to help the Ukrainian side in ensuring that those who are subject to military service obligation go to Ukraine,” he added.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently signed a new mobilization law, as Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba underscored a fair approach to conscription-age men, regardless of their location. However, reports emerged of Ukrainian consulates suspending services for men aged 18-60.
