Poland ready to help Ukraine to get military-age men back, minister says

Poland is ready to help Ukraine in getting military-age male citizens to return and help their home country in fighting in the war against Russia, Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said on Wednesday.

The Ukrainian government announced rules on Wednesday under which passports for military-age men can be issued only inside the country instead of foreign diplomatic missions.

As a result, men aged between 18 and 59 living abroad will be unable to renew expiring passports or obtain new ones.

Poland has suggested in the past helping Ukraine so that those who are subject to military service go back to their country to fulfill their civic obligation, Kosiniak-Kamysz told Polsat News television.

"I think many Poles are outraged when they see young Ukrainian men in hotels and cafes, and they hear how much effort we have to make to help Ukraine," he said, without giving any details on how Poland will help.

Some 4.3 million Ukrainians are living in European Union countries as of January, 2024, of whom about 860,000 are adult men, the Eurostat database estimates. Poland has granted temporary protection status to 950,000 Ukrainians, the second-largest number after Germany.

"Any support is possible," Kosiniak-Kamysz said about how Poland would respond if Kyiv asked for help in bringing home those who may lose their right to stay in Poland once their passports expire.

Poland isn’t Canadian.

Nobody likes draft dodgers and they have always been especially unpopular here at FR.

Would draft dodgers hiding in Canada have been any help to our fight in Vietnam or anywhere if Canada had somehow forced them to return here?

No. Some became prominent politicians, which sent us on a further leftist trajectory.

If the Ukrainians want to stay in the EU they need to follow the official procedure: get into a boat and paddle up to the shore of Spain, Italy or Greece.

10s of thousands of Canadians came to America to join up and fight in Vietnam.

“””””Would draft dodgers hiding in Canada have been any help to our fight in Vietnam or anywhere if Canada had somehow forced them to return here?”””””

Many would have, many young men change their minds quickly when they get in and grow up some and discover their manhood.

Also being drafted did not necessarily mean going to Vietnam, the vast majority of servicemen served elsewhere.

Vietnam was mostly a volunteer’s war.

Sure, they would be fighting Russians, as our draftees were in Vietnam and Korea.

Not 100% sure of this, but I think a person in a country not his own whose passport expires becomes a state-less person.

This entitles that person to refugee status at any UN facility. I do not think a state-less person can be deported anywhere.

Not to worry. More American advisers followed by tens of thousands of American troops. All we need is a false flag incident to get us fully involved on the ground.
