We tell you who lost the right to deferral after the new law came into force and who gained it.

There are no more limited eligibility categories. What happens now?

All men who have previously received the status of “limitedly fit” automatically lose it, which means they also lose the right to deferment under this clause. From now on, everyone who has a “limitedly fit” mark on their military ID card is required to undergo a medical examination again, which will determine whether they are fit or unfit for service.

For which citizens are required to have military registration documents when crossing the border and what are the exceptions, read here.

The latest amendments state that this category of persons liable for military service has 9 months to undergo a re-commission. Namely, until February 4, 2025.

Please note! If you have updated your data within the statutory period, but have not passed the re-commission, the MCC may send a summons to send you to the re-commission. And if, after the second commission, you are found unfit for service, you will acquire the status of “unfit for military service” with exclusion from the military register, which automatically makes you not liable for military service.

The list of diseases exempting from mobilization is available here. It is important to note that the determination of fitness/unfitness will be based not on the disease itself, but on the degree of damage to certain organs.

Who has already lost the right to deferment?

With the start of the full-scale invasion, men began to enroll in higher education institutions more actively, hoping to avoid mobilization. However, with the entry into force of the new law, not all students will be able to use the draft deferment. Now, the deferment is granted only to those students who are studying full-time or dual enrollment, obtaining a higher level of education than the previous one.

This means that a second or third higher education will no longer allow for a draft deferment.

Itshould be noted that the new law also reduced the conscription age, which resulted in the loss of the deferral for men aged 25+.

In addition, parents with many children who have child support arrears will also lose the right to deferment. Territorial Completion Centers will have access to the register of debtors and will check everyone who applies for a deferral under this item.

Starting from August 1, those who care for their spouses' parents with disability groups 1 or 2 also lost the right to deferment. From now on, only caring for one's own parents with disabilities is eligible for deferral.

A half-brother of the deceased will no longer be able to get a deferral, only the presence of a brother who died in war gives the right to a deferral.

Another innovation is the deprivation of the deferment of conscription for employees of enterprises, institutions and organizations of the Ministry of Defense.

In ourprevious article, we talked about the fact that Ukraine has decided to significantly increase fines for violations of the mobilization rules, including these rules.

Who will be eligible for a military service deferment under the new law?

According to the provisions of the new law, the following groups of persons will be entitled to a deferment from mobilization from May 2024:

Electronic deferment through Reserve Plus: who can get it and how?

The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has introduced a new digital service for applying for a deferment from mobilisation through the Reserve+ application. This innovation allows citizens to receive a deferment without visiting government offices.

The procedure is as simple as possible: the user logs into the app and sends a request. The system independently checks the information through state registers and instantly displays the electronic deferment in the military document. This approach eliminates the need to stand in queues and reduces the likelihood of errors in documents.

The service is now live and allows several groups of people to apply for a deferment: people with disabilities, students and postgraduates, and men with many children. The latter were granted access to apply for a deferment online on November 20.

We remind you! It seems that Ukrainians will be able to update their credentials again through the Reserve+ app. Read what the Ministry of Defence has to say about this here.
