Germany Moves to Restrict Travel for Military-Age Men
Germany is advancing legislation that would require men under 45 to obtain military approval before taking extended stays abroad, a significant shift for a country that has been rebuilding its defence posture since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The law's enforcement mechanism remains unclear, and approvals are generally expected to be granted — but the symbolic weight of the policy is considerable. It reflects a broader European trend of governments quietly preparing for potential large-scale mobilisation scenarios.
