Who will receive a reservation from mobilisation: Committee approves list of institutions
27 March 2024 18:32
The Committee on National Security, Defence and Intelligence of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has considered 710 amendments to the new law on mobilisation and came up with amendment 2815. This was reported by MP Iryna Friz on Facebook, according to Komersant ukrainskyi 
In particular, it is proposed to provide reservations to persons liable for military service who are working or serving:
- employees of critical enterprises;
- in public authorities (category A; 50% – B, C);
- other state bodies;
- The National Police of Ukraine;
- National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine;
- State Bureau of Investigation, prosecutor’s offices;
- Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine;
- The State Emergency Service of Ukraine;
- State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine;
- Judicial Protection Service;
- courts, institutions of the justice system and pre-trial investigation bodies;
- patronage services of public authorities with jurisdiction over the entire territory of Ukraine.
The procedure, criteria, list of positions and professions, as well as the scope will be determined by this Law and acts of the Cabinet of Ministers.
“I insisted on the rejection of the new Article 27, which provides for the procedure for sending claims to persons liable for military service and the procedure for applying temporary restrictions. All provisions of the amendments to the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine should be excluded, as Article 27 provides for a quasi-legal mechanism for compulsion to fulfil obligations regarding military registration and mobilisation, but does not contain complete legal mechanisms for its implementation and will violate human rights. In particular, the day of delivery of the requirements from the MCC will be considered the day of its non-delivery (!!!) at the place of residence, and then the mechanisms of administrative responsibility, etc. will be activated,”
– said Iryna Friz.
She noted that these provisions also contain corruption risks.
“Unfortunately, these proposals were rejected by the Committee, so we will raise them during the consideration of the draft law in the parliament,”
– added the MP.
We would like to add that the Committee left in force the provision proposed by the Ministry of Defence on the non-conscription of 18-24 year olds during martial law.
Earlier, the National Security, Defence and Intelligence Committee considered all 16 areas of the draft law on mobilisation.
The main issue – demobilisation – was decided to be discussed during the consideration of amendments, not in the wording proposed by the government. This means that the current version does not have the support of the Committee.

Draft law on mobilisation
on 7 February, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted a new draft law on mobilisation without proposals from the relevant committee. It is expected to be voted on as a whole at the end of February, and the draft law may come into force in April.
The draft law proposes, among other things, to introduce summonses through the conscript’s electronic cabinet. Other innovations include lowering the conscription age to 25 years, setting a demobilisation period of 36 months, introducing voluntary mobilisation for convicts, restrictions on evaders, banning civil service without military training, etc.
