A Ukrainian official announced late Thursday it is prohibiting males aged 18 to 60 from leaving the country after Russia invaded earlier in the day.

The head of Lviv regional customs, Daniil Menshikov, posted an “urgent message” to Facebook saying that “due to the military state, men—citizens of Ukraine, aged 18 to 60 will not be released outside our state,” according to a translation.
