Ukrainians who have been through captivity are entitled to a deferral from mobilization

Civilians who were in captivity as a result of the russian federation's armed aggression against Ukraine have been granted the right to deferral from mobilization.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted the Resolution “On Amendments to Annex 5 to the Procedure for Conscription of Citizens for Military Service during Mobilization, for a Special Period.” 

This document harmonizes the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On Preparation and Implementation of Mobilization,” amended on November 20, 2024.

To obtain a deferral from military service during mobilization, it is necessary to provide an extract from the Unified Register of individuals for whom the deprivation of personal liberty due to armed aggression against Ukraine has been confirmed.
