Deported Ukrainian men face immediate military conscription upon return
The US government has deported dozens of Ukrainian men, many of whom face immediate military conscription. Under strict new immigration policies, individuals previously protected by humanitarian programmes are being removed, regardless of their criminal history. Ukrainian border officials are reportedly detaining deported men of fighting age and transferring them directly to military training centres. The situation highlights severe manpower shortages in the ongoing conflict and the precarious legal status of refugees.
