Against the background of the ongoing war with Russia, mobilization in Ukraine remains a key tool for ensuring the state's defense capability. In 2024, draft law No. 10449 entered into force, which regulated the procedure for the mobilization of conscripted citizens and provided for stricter liability for evasion of military duty.
