The "Shlyakh" System and Illegal Exits

"Shlyakh" is a system implemented by Ukrainian authorities to control and authorize citizens' departure abroad during martial law. The system is used by regional military administrations to issue permits for crossing the state border. According to news reports, "Shlyakh" became the subject of corruption schemes, where officials and private individuals illegally sold places in the system or falsified data to organize illegal departures. The tag covers publications about abuse of this system, investigations into corruption, and legal aspects of leaving the country during the war.
