Military conscripts who work at critically important enterprises during mobilization in Ukraine may lose their deferments from conscription and be required to join the army. The grounds for canceling the deferment are outlined in the Cabinet of Ministers resolution No. 1332 dated November 22, 2024. The list can be found in the resolution posted on the Verkhovna Rada portal.
The Cabinet's resolution contains an updated "Procedure for the Deferment of Military Conscripts by List." This document includes item 31, which lists 13 grounds for canceling deferments from mobilization conscription in Ukraine. The procedure applies to military conscripts who received protection from conscription due to their work at a critically important enterprise, institution, or organization.
The grounds for canceling deferments (i.e., for revoking the postponement) are as follows:
It is noted separately that the cancellation of the deferment under items 2-6 occurs only after a decision by the Ministry of Economy. After this, the enterprise has five days to retrieve the certificate indicating that the military conscripts had a deferment, as stated in the Cabinet's resolution.
The duration of the deferment from mobilization due to work at a critically important enterprise can be found in the updated booking procedure approved by the government on November 22, 2024. Item 3 specifies the following duration of the deferment:
It is important to note that MP Alexander Fedienko published a document indicating the possibility of mobilization even for reserved employees. The politician pointed out that once conscripted, such individuals will no longer be able to resign from the army according to the requirements of current legislation.
We remind you that on January 6, the Mykolaiv recruitment center outlined the grounds on which reserved citizens are called up.
