On May 18, the law on strengthening mobilization comes into force in Ukraine, which aims to strengthen the country's defense capabilities in connection with the aggravation of the situation in the east and the threat from Russia. However, this is not the only law that will be important for Ukraine's national security.
In parallel with it, another law passed by the Verkhovna Rada on liability for "evaders" (fines from 17,000 to 25,500 hryvnias, for officials - from 34,000 to 59,500 hryvnias) should come into force. It has not yet been signed by the president, but it will most likely be done in the near future.
There is already a lot of very contradictory information around the topic of what and who is responsible.
For example, some deputies claim that allegedly after a person fails to pay several fines, he faces criminal liability. All lawyers and lawyers interviewed by "Strana" denied this. There is no criminal liability for not updating your details or not appearing on a summons. Only a fine, regardless of how many times it is imposed on a person.
Criminal liability arises in two cases. If the person did not come after a warning from the head of the TCC (not to be confused with a summons). At the same time, what is important, the warning must be delivered to the person personally.
Secondly, criminal liability arises if a person passed the military medical commission and was served with a summons for mobilization into the army ("combat") and did not appear for it. But for this you need to pass the VLK.
Non-payment of the fine may result in seizure of property and withdrawal of funds from the account.
In addition, the imposition of fines can be challenged in court. And lawyers recommend doing this, because after paying a fine, a person actually pleads guilty to violating the rules of military registration. And this threatens the fact that in the future, such a conscript, if found, may be given a warning by the TCC, for evasion of which criminal liability arises.
