Kyiv is trying to replenish the ranks of its army as the war stretches into its third year, including by enticing emigrants to return to Ukraine.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski proposed on Friday (13 September) to “stop paying social security payments for people who are eligible for the Ukrainian draft”.
Some men fled Ukraine to avoid being drafted, despite an official ban on leaving the country that applies to most men of fighting age.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said he would “support” the idea, but that it needed the “appropriate conditions”.
He added there were about a million men of mobilisation age abroad, including 300,000 in Poland.
The statements were made on Friday but the conference was embargoed until Saturday for security reasons.

Britain imposed sanctions against the Russian Aerospace Forces.
The UK has imposed sanctions against the Aerospace Forces (VKS) of the RF, the command of the russian military transport aviation and the 924th State Center for Unmanned Aviation, according to the British Foreign Office. Restrictive measures providing for the freezing of assets were applied in connection with the ongoing russian invasion of Ukraine.
Five russian transport vessels were also included in the sanctions list: SKIF-V, OMSKIY-103, MUSA JALIL, BEGEY and BALTIYSKIY. According to the document, they are involved in activities "the purpose or result of which is to destabilize Ukraine, undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine."
In addition, London imposed sanctions against five individuals and two legal entities of Iran for supporting the russian Fuckeration. In particular, the Baharestan Kish Company, which produces drones, fell under the restrictions.

🗣🇺🇦 Ukraine is bleeding. It can't fight forever. Supporting Ukraine "for as long as it takes" doesn't match the reality of this conflict, — The Washington Post
*The article was written by columnist David Ignatius from the WP, a well-known American journalist and writer, which completely reflects my thoughts, which you may have seen in the comments under the posts for a long time
✍️ 📰 We visited treatment centers with wounded Ukrainian soldiers. Like soldiers everywhere, they’re kids, with sleeves of tattoos and T-shirts promoting heavy metal bands. But they got old in a hurry
We don’t have a choice. If we stop fighting, we’ll stop existing, said one of the soldiers
Listening to their stories, you realize that Ukraine is bleeding out. Its will to fight is as strong as ever, but its army is exhausted by a ceaseless drone war that’s unlike anything in the history of combat
🇺🇸🇺🇸 The Biden administration’s rubric of support — "as long as it takes" — simply doesn’t match the reality of this conflict. Ukraine doesn’t have enough soldiers to fight an indefinite war of attrition. It needs to escalate to be strong enough to reach a decent settlement
Without additional firepower, Ukraine may be forced to agree to Putin’s terms to stop his brutal advance
The United States should take more risks to help Ukraine. How this war ends matters. If Putin prevails, it will harm the interests of America and Europe for decades
"I have no announcement to make" on the ATACMS issue, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a video interview with the group
That’s fine with me. Don’t announce anything. Leave Putin guessing. But if Russia’s surge continues, Putin’s bases within ATACMS range should be legitimate targets. He’s the one crossing the "red line" every day he continues his unprovoked aggression
🇺🇦 🇺🇸 In a week, Zelenskyy will meet Biden in New York to make this request in person
Deeper American support for Ukraine is not based on sentimentality, but on U.S. national interests

After unsuccessfully attempting to join the Ukrainian Army, the suspect in yesterday's attempted assassination of former President Trump, Ryan Routh spent a few months in Kyiv with intent of associating himself with the war effort.
Publically available social media sources from the time of his visit warned that Routh was misrepresenting himself as a "recruiter" for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
According to the New York Post and CNN, the man actively supported Ukraine on social media. In 2022, he wrote that he was ready to volunteer in Ukraine, and in 2023, he mentioned spending several months in the country after the start of the Russian invasion.
