There is no outflow of men from Ukraine. Over the past two weeks, Ukrainian men have been crossing the border more often, heading to Ukraine. This was announced on Friday by the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service, Andriy Demchenko, during a telethon, according to a correspondent of UNN.
Commenting on the information about about 6,000 men crossing the border every day, Demchenko said that it is about the movement of men both to leave and enter Ukraine.
Unfortunately, there is a false impression that every day men cross the border exclusively to leave, and every day it is new people, and they do not return. The movement of men, including those who are allowed to cross the border, occurs both to leave Ukraine and, of course, men cross the border to enter Ukraine
According to him, over the past two weeks, Ukrainian men have crossed the border more often on their way to Ukraine than out of it.
"If we analyze the last two weeks, Ukrainian men aged 18 to 60 have crossed the border more times on their way to Ukraine than on their way out. Regarding departure. It should be understood that in general, men are restricted from leaving Ukraine, except for those who are subject to the conditions of crossing. If we talk about the number (about 6,000) mentioned by my colleague from the Western Regional Directorate, 50% are driverswho carry out international transportation of goods and passengers," Demchenko said.
He said that 15-17% are people with disabilities and parents with many children. 7% are those who are recognized as unfit for military service and have the appropriate documents. 3% are people transporting humanitarian goods.
If we analyze the movement of men leaving and entering Ukraine in November, the percentage of men leaving and entering was 50/50. That is, there is no outflow of men from Ukraine, if we analyze border crossings
