In Ukraine, general mobilization continues, and with it increased control over compliance with the rules of military accounting. The Verkhovna Rada adopted the Bill No. 12093, which makes a number of changes to the mechanism of bringing to justice of conscripts who violate mobilization legislation.
The new law provides for several key innovations. First, a 50% discount on penalties for those who will voluntarily agree with a violation and pay a fine within 10 days. This means that at a standard fine of UAH 17,000, the evastors will be able to occur twice as much as 8,500 UAH. It will be possible to pay a fine through the Reserve+Appendix or by Ukrposhta.
Secondly, the law introduces automatic closure of cases for those who voluntarily go to military service. If the military already has an open case due to violations of military accounting, but then joins the Armed Forces, the penalties are canceled and the proceedings are closed.
In addition, the mechanism of penalties is greatly simplified. Now they can be written without drafting the protocol - the fact of returning the summons with the mark "refusal to receive" or "uninvited" is sufficient. Fines can now be considered at the place of residence of the conscript or at the place of its detention. This means that after forcible delivery to the shopping center, evastors can immediately receive a fine.
Finally, in the event of non -payment of a fine within 30 days the law allows compulsory recovery, including the seizure of bank accounts of the offender.
Lawyers believe that the changes will not only exacerbate the discipline among the conscripts, but also make the mechanism for monitoring the mobilization more rigid. In fact, evasion of military accounting will now cost even more, and avoiding responsibility will be much more difficult.
