In Ukraine, mobilization continues, which covers men from 25 to 60 years. However, sometimes the summons are given by those who have already crossed this age -old border. Whether it is legitimate and what to do in such a situation was explained by lawyer Tatiana Savchenko.
According to Article 22 of the Law of Ukraine “On Military Duty and Military Service”, 60 years are the limit of mobilization for ordinary, sergeants and lower level officers. After reaching this age, the man is no longer considered a military and is not subject to conscription.
"At 59, they can still call, and at 60 it is not already," - said the lawyer.
Having reached the age of 60, you need to contact the territorial center of staff (TCC) yourself, submit the necessary documents and write an application for withdrawal from military accounting. Only after that, military obligations are officially terminated, and the summons are no longer eligible.
If a person is mobilized after 60 years, he or she may submit a report for dismissal under Article 26 of the same Law. In this case, the military unit should be released from service.
Men after 50 years can mobilize if they are suitable for service. For high -ranking officers, the limit of mobilization is 65 years. Highly qualified servicemen may also continue their service to this age.
Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets reported that in 2025 the number of appeals on human rights violations by the Tax Code increased. It is, in particular, about cases of illegal delivery of stories and illegal mobilization.
In view of this, human rights activists are advised to carefully monitor the compliance with the law, especially when the summons are received by people who are not mobilized.
