Lithuania can help Ukraine bring men of military age back — Defense Minister Kasčiūnas
Lithuanian Defense Minister Laurynas Kasčiūnas said that it is necessary to think about how to help Ukraine return men of military age who have left the country
Delfi reported the information.
According to the minister, Lithuania is not yet considering specific measures to help Ukraine return men of military age, but is monitoring what decisions Poland will make.
"Of course, no one will collect them and take them to Ukraine - this will not happen. But (it is possible to restrict these people) in social benefits, work permits, documents - these are options, as I hear from the Polish side. So let's wait and see what option they will offer, perhaps it will be suitable for Lithuania as well," the minister added.
At the same time, he clarified that it is difficult to determine the exact number of Ukrainians of conscription age in Lithuania.
