Ukraine will not compel military-aged men to return for mobilization against Russia‘s invasion, according to a senior Ukrainian official.

“So there will be no restrictions or forced returns of Ukrainian citizens of any sex or age to a country that is at war,” Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna said Tuesday, per a Ukrainian media translation. “But there are no pleasant solutions to war issues, and let’s not forget that the war continues, and we must win it.”
