After nearly two years of full-scale invasion, the government has decided to amend the martial law conscription rules. The new version of the draft law on mobilization, approved on January 30, provides for limiting the number of categories that can receive a deferment from mobilization.
One of the key changes is the cancellation of the postponement of conscription for civil servants, although reservations remain for mayors, heads of village councils and territorial communities. According to the current legislation, certain categories of conscripts can receive a deferment from mobilization, taking into account their work at facilities that are of strategic importance for the army and the economy.
The new draft law defines the criteria for receiving armor from mobilization, such as employment on the basis of an employment contract or contract, being on military registration, the absence of a deficient military registration specialty, and the absence of other deferments.
The draft law also introduces other important changes, such as the exemption from mobilization of persons with disabilities, the possibility of demobilization of servicemen who have returned from captivity, and the replacement of conscription with general military education. The project also provides for the reduction of the conscription age from 27 to 25 years and the introduction of a personal e-cabinet and e-subpoenas for more effective administration of military matters.
