Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olha Stefanishyna says that there will be no forced return of Ukrainian citizens of any gender or age to the country that is at war.

"There will be no restrictions or forced return of Ukrainian citizens of any gender or age to the country that is at war. But there are no pleasant solutions in matters of war, and let's not forget that the war continues and we must win it," Stefanishyna told DW, commenting on the issue of ending the provision of consular services abroad.

According to her, Ukraine has adopted a law on mobilization, and the authorities should understand to what extent "we can replace the guys at the front."

"We are talking about the potential for mobilization - accounting and information. And this is the primary goal of our decision," the Deputy Prime Minister said.
