Despite the fact that demobilization in Ukraine is not officially carried out before the martial law is completed, some servicemen - both mobilized and contractors - can be dismissed on the basis of current legislation. UNIAN learned from a lawyer in which cases it is possible.
As the lawyer Sergey Lankin explained by the Glob and Glob Association, the concept of "demobilization" in Ukrainian legislation concerns, in particular, the release of the presidential decree, which usually occurs after the end of the fighting. However, Article 26 of the Law on Military Duty and Military Service provides a number of exceptions that allow the Armed Forces to leave the Armed Forces.
Among the grounds for early dismissal from service:
-
Family circumstances: care for relatives with disabilities, self-upbringing of a child with disabilities, the presence of three or more juvenile children without alimony debts, pregnancy of a woman-military service, the presence of a child in a military-military spouse (one parent is released).
-
Release from captivity.
-
Health status: unfit for VLK's finding (injury, serious illness, disability).
-
Legal grounds: a conviction with imprisonment or appointment to a judge.
-
Losses in the family: the death or disappearance of a close relative as a result of hostilities, ATO or full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation.
Contracters can be released upon the expiration of the contract - but only if it has been concluded during the martial law. For example, a three -year contract, signed in 2022, allows release in 2025. If the contract was concluded before the start of a full -scale war, the service continues until the end of martial law.
However, early termination of the contract is also possible - for the same reason as the general dismissal: health, family circumstances, injuries or disability.
For foreign citizens serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a separate rule is provided: they can terminate the contract early after six months of continuous service.
Upon dismissal from military service, the person must be registered in the Tax Code and the JV and automatically proceeds to the stock. In this status, it can be re -mobilized - except for the released from captivity.
