Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the courts have handed down 66 sentences for evading mobilization. The largest number is in the Transcarpathian region.
Data on evasion sentences by region is provided by the Ukrainian Helsinki Union for Human Rights.
Roman Likhachev, a lawyer for the public reception of the UGSPL in the city of Chuguev, analyzed the documents and reported on the features of the sentences.
He noted that as of August 30, 2022, the Unified State Register of Court Decisions contains 66 sentences for criminal offenses under Article 336 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. At the same time, there was not a single acquittal; all persons admitted their guilt.
Article 336 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine provides that draft evasion during mobilization is punishable by imprisonment for a term of three to five years.
The number of sentences by region was distributed as follows:
Volyn region - 5 sentences (one for an internally displaced person)
Dnipropetrovsk region - 7 sentences (one for an internally displaced person)
Zhytomyr region - 1 sentence
Transcarpathian region - 31 sentences (9 against internally displaced persons)
Ivano-Frankivsk region - 2 sentences (one for an internally displaced person
Kirovograd region - 2 sentences
Lviv region - 10 sentences (2 sentences against internally displaced persons)
Poltava region - 1 sentence
Rivne region - 1 sentence
Sumy region - 1 sentence
Kharkiv region - 2 sentences (2 against internally displaced persons)
Cherkasy region - 2 sentences
Chernivtsi region - 1 sentence
At the same time, the Mukachevo City District Court of the Transcarpathian region is the undisputed leader in the number of sentences handed down - 19 sentences. At the same time, there is only one court decision with a “real” punishment in the register, all the rest are on probation.
At the same time, according to the State Border Service, as of August 12, during martial law in Ukraine, border guards exposed more than 700 men with false certificates of unfitness for military service.
Recall that the government allowed from September 1 to travel abroad for military men working in export-oriented companies. Moreover, you can leave the country for up to seven days.
It should be noted that in Ukraine people who are not subject to conscription for military service during mobilization may be allowed to travel abroad. Students are also included.
By the way, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not need to increase their personnel, and therefore only “specific specialists” will be subject to mobilization.
As you know, on August 15, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine voted for the extension of martial law and the terms of mobilization. 328 people’s deputies voted for both decisions.
