The list of persons subject to mobilization is defined by the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service".

The law does not specify the number of family members who can be called up.

As lawyer Rostylav Kravets notes, in theory all family members can be mobilized for military service - husband, wife, adult children, but in practice such cases have not occurred.

But there is an exception.

Which of the family members cannot be drafted

•  The CPD explains that the approved draft laws No. 7481 and No. 7352 expanded the list of persons who are not subject to conscription during mobilization and have the right to postpone mobilization.

  In the case of mobilization, it is forbidden to call up close relatives of a person who died at the front or is considered missing.

Close relatives who cannot be mobilized include: women and men whose close relatives (husband, wife, son, daughter, father, mother, grandfather, grandmother or biological (consanguineous, non-consanguineous) brother or sister) died or went missing .

So other family members, where there is a deceased defender, can no longer be mobilized.

• Another exception concerns the family in which minor children are raised.

  According to Art.

  2 of the Law, if someone from the family is in the service, then the one who takes care of the child cannot be mobilized so as not to leave the child without parental care.
