According to the requirements of the legislation, restrictions on crossing the border to leave Ukraine do not apply to individuals in this category, in particular:
- who have a certificate of deferment of conscription and notification of enrollment in special military registration (in accordance with the decision of the Government to approve the list of positions and professions of conscripts subject to reservation for the period of mobilization and wartime);
- who have an opinion of the military medical commission on unfitness with exclusion from military registration;
- who raise three or more children under the age of 18;
- who raise a child (children) under the age of 18 on their own;

- who left for other states for permanent residence, which is documented accordingly;
- applicants for professional higher and higher education, trainee assistants, graduate students and doctoral students studying abroad in full-time or dual forms of education (students, listeners).
In addition, conscripts or certain categories of citizens may cross the border to leave Ukraine in cases provided by law, in particular:
- drivers who are reserved for international cargo transportation, transportation for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, medical cargo and humanitarian aid cargoes, in accordance with the established procedure;

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that all citizens who fall under the exemption must have the necessary documents to prove it. At the same time, during the border control measures, their validity and the fact of issuance by the relevant authorities will be checked.
