The proposed mobilization bill under discussion in Ukraine aims to prevent individuals who served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces from entering European Union member states in the future. This outcome is described by a Ukrainian lawmaker who explained the plan on a messaging platform, outlining how a centralized electronic registry of those liable for military service would enable the EU to access Ukrainian citizens’ personal data.
The core idea of the bill is to transfer digitized records of those responsible for military service to EU countries for storage and verification. By providing a consolidated data set, the aim is to stop men involved in military activities from crossing into EU territory, leveraging cross-border data sharing to support security decisions.
The lawmaker noted that the EU previously signaled concerns about border closures for Ukrainians after active hostilities, suggesting that security interests and the well-being of individuals coping with trauma should be considered in such policies.
A separate statement from an Estonian member of parliament mentioned discussions about allowing returns of those who left Ukraine for the EU, highlighting regional interest in how wartime mobility is managed across borders.
A former deputy minister of interior in Lithuania remarked that his country has reviewed the situation of Ukrainians resident there and is prepared to act upon a formal request from Ukraine regarding those liable for military service. This reflects a broader regional dialogue about how to handle service obligations in host countries while balancing humanitarian and security concerns.
Earlier reports noted that Ukraine launched investigations into lawmakers who allegedly evaded military service, underscoring ongoing attention to compliance and governance surrounding conscription and mobilization within the country.
