Mobilization in Ukraine: the lawyer reminded who exactly is not subject to conscription

In Ukraine, martial law and mobilization have been extended for another 90 days.

Men and women whose close relatives died or went missing during the containment of Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine during wartime are not called up for military service during wartime.

The lawyer Natalya Chirochko reminded about this.

This rule also applies to those whose close relatives died or went missing while implementing measures to ensure national security and defense, repulse and deter the armed aggression of the Russian Federation in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

If the family has minor children, then not all parents can be mobilized.

“According to Art. 23 of the Law of Ukraine “On mobilization training and mobilization” and art. 2 of the Law of Ukraine “On military duty and military service” are not subject to military service during mobilization, women and men liable for military service who have a minor child (children) and a husband (wife) who is doing military service in one of the types of military service “ - said the lawyer.

That is, if there are minor children in the family, and the woman is serving, then the man is no longer mobilized. To do this, a woman must carry out one of the following types of military service:
- urgent military service,
- conscription service during mobilization, for a special period
- service under the contract of private or non-commissioned officers and foremen
- training of cadets of higher military educational institutions
- service under the contract of officers
- service for the conscription of officers or from among the reservists in a special period.

Recall that in Ukraine it is planned to reduce the age limit for military registration of conscripts from 27 to 25 years.
