Ukraine petition urges deferment for childless married men to become fathers

news.telegraf.com.ua (Russian)

A petition in Ukraine urges the government to grant married men without children a one-to-three-year mobilization deferment so they can become fathers. The petition, filed by Oksana Sai on August 6, targets men of reproductive age up to 35-40 and would also cover those already mobilized. Sai argues forced conscription worsens Ukraine's demographic crisis and rejects sperm cryopreservation, saying fatherhood involves personally raising a child. To be considered by the Cabinet of Ministers, the petition needs 25,000 signatures within 91 days. However, Cabinet review does not guarantee the proposal becomes law.
