State Border Guard Service spokesman Andriy Demchenko said that there has been no significant increase in the number of people leaving Ukraine, particularly among young men. He said this during a telethon, UNN reports.
"We don't keep statistics on border crossings by age or gender to provide you with such data. I note that young men aged 16-17 are not restricted in crossing the border. At the same time, if we talk about the total number of border crossings, there is no significant increase in the number of people leaving Ukraine, as it was in 2022," Demchenko said.
According to him, this year and last year, passenger traffic fluctuates in a 50% to 50% ratio.
