Martial law and general mobilization, which provide for the conscription of men aged 25 to 60 into the Armed Forces, remain in effect in Ukraine. However, the legislation provides exceptions that allow specific categories of citizens to receive a deferment or a complete exemption from service.<\/p>\n
According to Ukrainian law, in particular the Law “On Mobilization Training and Mobilization”, persons recognized as unfit for military service due to health reasons, as well as men with disabilities in groups I, II, or III, are not subject to conscription.<\/p>\n
In addition, military commissariats do not have the right to mobilize the following men:<\/p>\n
– Parents raising three or more children;<\/p>\n
– Guardians of orphans;<\/p>\n
– Persons caring for parents with disabilities of groups I or II, or those whose husbands or wives have disabilities;<\/p>\n
– Men raising children with disabilities of any degree;
\n– Guardians of persons recognized by the court as incompetent;
\n– Relatives caring for people with disabilities;
\n– Full-time or dual-education students receiving higher education;
\n– Employees in enterprises critical to the economy and defense;
\n– Persons who have a brother or sister killed or missing during hostilities;
\n– Citizens who have returned from captivity.<\/p>\n
Thus, despite general mobilization, these categories of persons are not subject to conscription. All justifications for deferment must be documented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
