About 30,000 people are mobilizing every month. At the same time, according to People's Deputy Ivan Kostenko, more than 1.5 million citizens have not updated their data in the CCC, which seriously complicates the process of staffing the Armed Forces. He stressed that the procedure needs improvement.
Despite the strict conditions of wartime, Ukrainian legislation provides for a number of grounds for lawful deferral or booking. This was recalled by a lawyer of the law company Riyako & Partners Kateryna Anishchenko.
Among those who are entitled to defer from mobilization:
-
Workers reserved for a period of mobilization or martial law.
-
Persons with three or more children under 18 years of age.
-
Parents of children with disabilities or persons with disabilities themselves.
-
Citizens declared unfit for health service and excluded from military accounting.
-
Women who can only be mobilized voluntarily.
At the same time, as the lawyer emphasized, the right to defer is not automatic. Even if a person falls into the appropriate category, without properly issued confirmation in the CCC, they can mobilize it.
The law also allows you to legally abandon mobilization for men aged 25 to 60 years, if they do not belong to any of the defined preferential categories. Persons up to 25 years or older 60 years of age can only voluntarily join the army. And for the highest officers' marginal age - 65 years, optional.
In order to avoid misunderstandings and risks, citizens need to update data in the CCC in a timely manner and, in the event of a deferral right, formally formalize it. Otherwise, even a legitimate basis may not save the summons.
