In Ukraine, the mobilization age is not changing. All non-disabled men aged 25 to 60 are subject to compulsory conscription without the right to deferment.<\/p>\n
However, there are situations in which young people aged 18 can also be conscripted. Lawyer Dmytro Solovyov reported this in his video on Facebook.<\/p>\n
The human rights activist noted that those who have already completed military service or studied at an army department are considered conscripts regardless of age.<\/p>\n
“If a person has completed military service, is a reserve officer, or was previously recognized as limitedly fit, then he is subject to military registration regardless of age,” he said.<\/p>\n
Thus, if a man aged 18 to 25 has the status of a conscript, he can be mobilized on general terms. This means that such a young man can receive a summons or even be forcibly conscripted if he evades.<\/p>\n
“In this case, a young man liable for military service may be mobilized even before reaching the age of 25,” the lawyer added.<\/p>\n
It was previously reported that mobilization is expected to begin on January 1 and that Ukrainians will no longer be able to avoid conscription: they will receive summonses. It has also become known that Ukrainians have won court cases to cancel mobilization, and what happens with deferrals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
