New Border Rules Cause Confusion: Young Ukrainian Man Denied Exit to Poland

Ukrainian Youth Face Border Crossing Hurdles Amid New Regulations A young Ukrainian man, identified as vadimkovchi on social media, shared his experience of being denied exit from Ukraine to Poland on August 28, despite a recently enacted government decision. The man, who falls within the 18-22 age bracket now permitted to leave, recorded a video at the border, expressing frustration over the lack of clear directives from the State Border Guard Service (DPSU). "I am currently at the border, Ukraine-Poland, and they are not letting us through," vadimkovchi stated in his video. "They are not letting us through because there is no decision yet from the DPSU. The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine has not been told yet whether they can let people through or not." He explained that while the government's decision is in place, the practical implementation is stalled due to the absence of official communication to border guards. "The decision from the government is there, everything is there, but it turns out today this law just came into effect," he added. "Tomorrow, someone is supposed to call them and give the 'go-ahead' for them to let people through." The young man described driving for three hours in the dark to reach the border, only to face this bureaucratic hurdle. He plans to wait and attempt to cross again in the morning, hoping that the necessary instructions will have been issued by then. The situation highlights the challenges and confusion faced by many Ukrainians navigating evolving wartime regulations. Comments on his video reflected a mix of support, frustration, and shared experiences, with some users questioning the delay in official communication and others offering advice or expressing solidarity. The incident underscores the human impact of policy changes and the need for clear, timely implementation.
