In Ukraine, conscripts who have the right to postpone mobilization must follow a clear procedure for its registration. The presence of documents confirming the right to deferment does not mean that it is granted automatically. Roman Grunda, assistant to the head of the Ternopil regional TCC and JV for legal work, said this during the briefing.
"A deferment from conscription for military service may be granted due to family circumstances, health conditions, for obtaining an education or continuing professional activity. But even if you have the right to a postponement and the relevant documents, this does not confirm its automatic granting," Grunda explained.
To receive a deferment, a conscript must complete the following steps:
- Collection of documents : It is necessary to collect all the documents specified by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine resolution No. 560 "On the procedure for conscription for military service during mobilization".
- Visit to the TCC : A person must personally visit the Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support (TCC) at the place of military registration or residence registration.
- Submission of documents : Submit documents for consideration by the commission established in the TCC.
- Receiving a decision : Wait for the commission's decision on granting or refusing to grant a postponement.
It is important to note that at the end of August, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted a new draft law that simplifies the procedure for obtaining a deferment for conscripts who support or care for sick relatives or persons with disabilities. Now they do not need to submit documents about the absence of other able-bodied relatives in the family.
