During martial law, demobilization is generally not provided in Ukraine. However, the legislation clearly prescribes exceptions that allow both mobilized and contractors to leave the service. Sergey Lankin, a lawyer of the Globa and Glob, told this.
According to him, dismissal is possible in the cases provided for in Article 26 of the Law of Ukraine “On Military Duty and Military Service”. These are certain circumstances related to the family, health or changes in the legal status of a serviceman.
In particular, it is the need to care for relatives with disabilities, the maintenance of three or more children, the self -upbringing of a child with a disability or cases where the wife of the military is pregnant. If the military returned from captivity or has serious health problems confirmed by the conclusion of the Military Medical Commission, it may also be dismissed.
Contracters who have signed the contract before the start of a full -scale war can only be released after it was completed. Instead, those who have concluded a contract during martial law, for example in 2022 for three years, will be able to be released in 2025 after the expiration.
The contract can also be terminated for the same reasons - health or family circumstances. In the case of foreign citizens, the contract may be terminated at any time after six months of service.
Upon dismissal from service, a person should be registered in the Tax Code and the JV and goes into stock. If it was not released from captivity, it can be re -mobilized in the future.
