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 my appointment, the Ukrainian side said something slightly different, but in the same direction, that they would have a certificate for their citizens saying that their relationship with the military service is regulated , and they asked at the EU level not to provide social benefits to people who do not have such a certificate, “said Sikorsky.

We remind you that on April 11, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the law on mobilization in the second reading, it was signed by the president and published. The new law will take effect on May 18.
