Armed Forces reserves: why teens under 18 may not be released from Ukraine
Restrictions on the departure of adolescents from Ukraine to other countries and the development of the relevant bill No. 9480, is related to the desire of the authorities to create a future mobilization resource. This opinion was expressed in communication with the focus by the lawyer of the law company Riyako & Partners Mykola Maximov. "Against the backdrop of news, about corruption and keeping people in military enlistment offices, psychological tension is also created for minors.
Prohibition on independent crossing of borders for children up to 18 is a way to create a resource for the Armed Forces for the future. Such a ban will cause difficulty and difficulty and difficulty. With the departure of adult Ukrainians - they will have to look for legitimate mechanisms for the export of children, " - said the lawyer on the problem. Maximov is convinced that such a law will not bring serious potential for the army and well -being of the country.
Many teenagers of 15-16 years who end schools do not see the future in Ukraine. When they receive a certificate, they immediately think about abroad, and a huge percentage of people will go. Only a few expect to stay home for higher education, the lawyer emphasized. The lawyer of the NGO "Parents SOS" Roman Bondarenko believes that the authorities need to create conditions for people to stay in Ukraine. "You can ban, but Ukrainians will always find ways to leave.
Obviously, what everything goes to - they will soon be closed," he said focus. Today, the situation looks like this: young men at the age of 17 are put on military accounting, the preprisonors have to come to the shopping center and get a prescribed one. But even if there is no attitude, they cannot prohibit the departure of such teenagers, says the lawyer. But 18 years of departure abroad is already forbidden, according to the law on mobilization. And if the bill No.
9480 is approved, the country will not leave the country on their own or after. The people's deputies explain the emergence of initiative No. 9480 by the fact that in European countries it is forbidden to travel up to 18 years on their own, and Ukrainian children who have no escorts are immediately referred to local families.
But according to Natalia Lutsenko, the director of the Children's Protection Center, Europeans can withdraw children from Ukrainian refugees only for their poor attitude and care. The specialist gave an example the case of a girl 11 years. Together with her mother, she left Gostomel to Germany at the beginning of a full -scale invasion. The woman regularly consumed alcohol and social workers decided to hand over the child to the German family.
The girl's father remained in Gostomel and demands that the child be returned to her daughter. Focus earlier described in detail the initiative of Ukrainian parliamentarians to limit the free departure of adolescents under 18 years. They want to be allowed to leave only accompanied by one of the parents, guardians, guardians or foster parents. Lawyers have previously said that 17-year-old teenagers may face difficulties in leaving Ukraine.
