Back in April, a draft law was registered in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, which was supposed to force the return to Ukraine of those liable for military service who had previously crossed the border and were abroad. He received sharp criticism from lawyers and deputies.

Lawyer Rostyslav Kravets assured that to date, responsibility for non-return to Ukraine during martial law has not been established, write ICTV Facts.
