I work with plenty of people from Ukraine. And recently, someone went abroad. So it's definitely still possible.

Very unlikely. Men of ages 18-60 are forbidden to leave Ukraine since February 27 or 28 of 2022. Women cannot cross the border since 2023.

Of course, there should be some exceptions. For example, some people need to go abroad to bring Western supplied munitions, officials can leave to visit other countries, etc.

But almost 100% of the population cannot leave Ukraine under any circumstances.

> Women cannot cross the border since 2023.

I have spoken with several Ukrainian women who have crossed the border several times since 2023. They live and work in Poland or Czechia, but go visit Ukraine once or twice a year. Note they're Ukrainian citizens, and do not have Czech nor Polish citizenship.

Well, the guy I know fled Ukraine last year, and is now alive and well abroad. So I would say very likely.

Untrue, why the heck do you keep spreading lies all over here? Young people including men 18-22 can leave Ukraine these days.

This change was all over the world news at the end of December. You are not on the top of your game, are you.

		I don't follow Ukrainian laws closely. I remember they allowed young men of ages 18-22 to cross the border in August 2025 (!). That caused enormous lines on the borders as the first day after this law 11,000 young men fled the country. But that only about men of age 18-22. Men of age 22-60 still cannot leave the country. And 18-22 couldn't leave the country for three years.
