Ukraine declared a nationwide state of general mobilization on February 24, 2022, and has extended it several times since. Due to issues with staffing the military, a bill on toughening mobilization rules came into effect on May 18, 2024. Over recent months, mobilization efforts have increasingly involved the use of force. Not wanting to end up on the frontlines, draft-age men try to leave the country, frequently risking their lives to do so.

The measures were set to expire on February 7.

On January 15, the parliament voted for the extension.
