Greece: men aged 18–22 must prove they left Ukraine lawfully

WHAT CHANGED The Greek migration ministry added a section on military obligations. Men aged 18–22 must submit proof of lawful departure from Ukraine. If that cannot be confirmed, an official document confirming exemption from or fulfilment of military obligations, certified by the Embassy, is required. WHO IS AFFECTED Primarily men aged 18–22.

Without it protection is refused, and having family members who are beneficiaries does not help.
