Quite often, during mobilization in Ukraine, summonses are served to those people who have been removed or excluded from military registration.

This usually happens because the authorized persons who serve summonses to the military commissariat do not have the opportunity to review the special database and check the data.

This is done by the recruitment committee.

According to lawyer Vladyslav Zaytsev, a summons can indeed be served to both those who have been dismissed and those who have been excluded from military registration, writes ZN.ua.

According to the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service", there are two concepts - "removal from military registration" and "exclusion from military registration".

However, "removal from military registration" means that a person has changed his place of residence and needs to register for military registration at his new place of residence.

And "excluded from military registration" means something else.

Who is included in the category "excluded from military registration":

  • Conscripts who are called or accepted for military service

  • They undergo military service (training) in higher educational institutions and military training units of higher education

  • Recognized by military medical commissions as unfit for military service with an exception from military registration.

  • They have reached the maximum age of being in stock.

  • Ukrainian citizenship was revoked.

  • Were previously sentenced to imprisonment for committing a serious or particularly serious crime

  • They are sent to serve their sentence to institutions of execution of sentences or to which coercive measures of a medical nature are applied

  • Those who died or were recognized as missing or declared dead in accordance with the procedure established by law.

As the lawyer notes, a summons can be served to those who have been removed from military registration, and to those who have been excluded from military registration.

"In case of delivery of a summons, the authorized persons do not establish the presence or absence of the fact of postponement of the draft. This issue is dealt with directly by the draft commission, and therefore, after the delivery of the summons, it is necessary to appear at the specified time and date at the TCC and SP. Moreover, the law does not specify, that persons removed from military registration cannot be called up during mobilization. Accordingly, such persons can be called up for military service on the condition that they pass a medical examination," said the lawyer's comment.

Those excluded from military registration under certain circumstances must also report to the territorial recruitment and social support center.

For example, if a soldier is dismissed from service on the basis of a conclusion of the VVK (Military Medical Commission) that he is unfit for military service with an exception from military registration, his mobilization is excluded.

There may be other nuances - if the soldier was excluded from military registration due to his unfitness for service in peacetime, that is, the probability of being called to the VLK for a re-examination and health check.

"Establishment of fitness or limited fitness for service during martial law as a result of passing the Military Intelligence Service may result in conscription for military service," the lawyer notes.

We would like to remind you that during the mobilization in Ukraine, employers are obliged to submit to the TCC staffing and report on the hiring and firing of employees, as well as provide information about them while they work for the company.
