In Ukraine, martial law was in effect in August 2025, and mobilization was underway. During this month, citizens expect new rules regarding those liable for military service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced that in late July and early August, the updated mobile application \u201cReserve +\u201d will allow you to apply for a deferment from conscription online based on new criteria. This opportunity is available to scientists, teachers, and educators of higher education institutions and vocational and technical educational institutions, provided that their information is entered in the state register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, men whose wives or husbands have group I or II disabilities can submit online applications if their data is confirmed in the registers of the Ministry of Social Policy, the Pension Fund, and the State Service for the Protection of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the innovations is also the possibility of traveling abroad during mobilization. Under current legislation, minors (under 18 years of age) and citizens over 60 years of age, as well as men with a valid deferral, can leave Ukraine, provided that they have all the necessary documents. Many reasons for deferral give the right to leave Ukraine, including men with disabilities, persons accompanying relatives with disabilities, and parents of three minor children or parents of children with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding the mobilization of men over 60 years of age, the law does not provide for automatic exemption from service for persons aged 50-60. They can be mobilized if there is a need for specialists in the army or if they have combat experience. However, a recently adopted law allows Ukrainians over 60 years of age to serve under a contract at their request, after approval by the unit commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the new mobilization management strategy, the launch of mobile territorial recruitment centers (TCC) is being considered. This approach will not require changes to the legislation – it is enough to issue a relevant order. Mobile units of the CCC will be able to move between settlements, responding to the operational situation, which will allow them to adapt to defense requirements quickly. Test elements of the new system have already been launched, and if successfully implemented, they will be able to increase the efficiency of procurement logistics significantly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
