Martial law continues to operate in Ukraine due to the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, during which men of military age cannot leave the country, except for the cases listed in the law.

On September 10, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, by Resolution No. 1044, regulated travel abroad for persons accompanying people with disabilities and persons with disabilities.

Since certain categories of people are physically limited in independent life, often only men can help them.. This is what people who are looking for any opportunity to travel outside Ukraine during martial law are trying to take advantage of, write Vadim Bashta and Sergey Sledz in the article "

The authors note that the verification of the real fact of leaving has become incomparably stricter after the adoption of the relevant government decree. In fact, only those who really care for the sick and partially helpless, and who need the fact of care only for the implementation of real protection of the rights of people with disabilities and people in need of care, remained as trustees applying for travel for escort.

For departure of persons accompanying people with disabilities, the following two documents are required:.

a document confirming the fact of disability of the 1st or 2nd group, or, which is easier and faster, the conclusion of the medical advisory commission at the primary health care center;

confirmation of departure.

Certificates of care are issued within five days after the applicant (trustee) applies to the relevant authorities - district executive authorities, rural and city councils.

From now on, male citizens of Ukraine aged 18 to 60, accompanying persons with disabilities and in need of constant care when traveling abroad, are allowed an unlimited number of border crossings to leave Ukraine.
