Ukrainians subject to military service receive a deferment from mobilization only if there are legal grounds. As lawyer Yuriy Ayvazyan explained in a commentary to TSN, if circumstances change, this deferment can be canceled within seven days.
In particular, after the employee is dismissed, the employer is obliged to immediately notify the territorial recruitment center. The deferral must be canceled no later than one week from the moment of such notification.
The legality of the grounds for postponement is checked in five cases:
-
when the conscript submits an application himself;
-
after the President issues a decree on mobilization or its extension;
-
upon request of state or local authorities;
-
in the event of an official notification of the loss of grounds for postponement;
-
by decision of the commission of the territorial center after violations are identified.
"If it turns out that a conscript no longer has legal grounds for a deferment during mobilization or a special period, the CCC commission has the right to cancel it within seven days from the moment the violation is discovered," the lawyer emphasized.
Thus, deferment is not a permanent right. Conscripts should closely monitor changes in their status to avoid misunderstandings with military authorities.
