Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba stated that protection of the rights and interests of Ukrainian citizens abroad has always been and remains a priority of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At the same time, in the conditions of full-scale Russian aggression, the main priority is the protection of the Motherland from destruction.
That’s what he’s about wrote in the social network Kh.
“How it looks now: a man of draft age went abroad, showed his country that the question of its survival does not bypass him, and then comes and wants to receive services from this country. That’s not how it works. There is a war in our country,” Kuleba wrote.
In addition, as the minister noted, the obligation to update one’s documents in the TCC existed even before the adoption of the new law on mobilization.
“If these people believe that someone over there, far at the front, is fighting and giving his life for this state, and someone will sit abroad, but at the same time will receive services from this state, then it doesn’t work like that,” Kuleba said. .
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that staying abroad does not release a citizen from his duties to the Motherland.
“That is why yesterday I instructed to take measures to restore fair treatment to men of mobilization age in Ukraine and abroad. It will be fair,” the minister wrote.
He also noted that soon the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will provide detailed clarifications regarding the procedure for obtaining consular services within the framework of the legislation for men of mobilization age in foreign diplomatic institutions with the approach to the entry into force of the law “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding Certain Issues of Military Service, Mobilization and military registration” and after its entry into force.
