The Cabinet of Ministers removed from the conditions of deferment for caretakers who have one of their parents with a group II disability or one of the parents of a wife (spouse) from among persons with a group II disability, the mandatory presence of a VLK conclusion (which had to be submitted by the person in need of care)) .
The Cabinet of Ministers also stipulated that Ukrainians removed from military registration due to leaving Ukraine for a period of more than 3 months will be able to submit an application for military registration through a foreign diplomatic institution without the need to appear in person at the TCC. However, under certain conditions, which are discussed below.
Another innovation is clarification regarding who is subject to referral for a medical examination.
Firstly, until the age of 25, persons who have completed basic combined arms training or basic military service are not sent to a military medical commission to undergo a medical examination.
Secondly, during a state of war, conscripts are sent to a military medical commission to undergo a medical examination only if they are accepted into military service on a voluntary basis.
Thirdly, it has been established that the procedure for granting a deferment from conscription for military service during mobilization in connection with reservation does not provide for referral to a military medical commission for a medical examination. In addition, the VLK will not provide for a procedure for granting deferments for certain officials.
In addition, the Cabinet of Ministers made changes on the possibility of sending the TCC to the National Police an application for administrative detention and delivery of persons violating the rules of military registration and legislation on mobilization in electronic form.
Thus, from now on, paragraph 56 of Order No. 1487 clarifies that the National Police, upon request from the TCC, which can be sent electronically by means of information interaction, carries out administrative detention and delivery of conscripts, military personnel and reservists who have committed administrative offenses2, 210-1 KUoAP.
Who can register for military service remotely
Among the innovations, it is established that the personal presence of conscripts, those liable for military service and reservists is not necessary for removal or exclusion from military registration in the TCC.
Also, registration of conscripts, persons liable for military service and reservists in the TCC can be carried out without their personal presence in the case specified in subparagraph 10-1 of paragraph 1 of Appendix 2. In this case, registration for military service is carried out with a foreign passport in case of filing an application for registration registration through a foreign diplomatic institution of Ukraine in accordance with subparagraph 10-1 of paragraph 1 of Appendix 2 and a military registration document if it was issued and was not lost.
In this case, the changes to the mentioned subparagraph 10, paragraph 1 of Appendix 2 provide for the following.
Citizens of Ukraine who were removed from military registration due to leaving Ukraine for a period of more than 3 months are required to register for military registration within 30 days from the date of entry into force of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of May 16, 2024 No. 563 in one of the following ways:
- Arrival in person at the TCC;
- by submitting an application for military registration in any form along with the information specified in Appendix 4 to the Procedure for organizing and maintaining military registration of conscripts, military personnel and reservists, and a copy of the first page of the passport of a citizen of Ukraine for traveling abroad to the TCC, by which such a citizen of Ukraine is removed from military records, through a foreign diplomatic institution of Ukraine.
The application is submitted by a citizen of Ukraine to a foreign diplomatic institution of Ukraine in person along with a passport of a citizen of Ukraine for traveling abroad, which, after acceptance of the application, is returned to the citizen of Ukraine, or by postal means along with a copy of the first page of the passport of a citizen of Ukraine for traveling abroad.
The foreign diplomatic institution of Ukraine sends an application with certain documents to the relevant TCC to their email address posted on their official website within 7 days.
Sending conscripts to the VLK, informing the TCC about a change of place of residence
Thus, clause 22 of the Procedure for organizing and maintaining military records of conscripts, those liable for military service and reservists, approved by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 1487, is supplemented by the rule that “during a state of war, conscripts are sent to a military medical commission for a medical examination only in the event their acceptance into military service on a voluntary basis.
Also, the new edition contains subclause 6 of clause 24 of the Procedure established for changes that, in order to ensure personal primary military records, the executive bodies of local councils inform the TCC within 7 days about conscripts, those liable for military service and reservists who
- arrived for residence from administrative-territorial units served by other executive bodies of local councils, without deregistration from the military (personal-primary military) registration at the declared or registered place of residence;
- moved to a new place of residence outside the administrative-territorial unit without being removed from the military (personal primary) registration.
According to the new edition, the executive bodies of local councils inform the TCC within 7 days about conscripts, military personnel and reservists who have arrived to live from administrative-territorial units served by other executive bodies of local councils at their declared or registered place of residence. The rule about those leaving for a new place of residence was therefore excluded from this subclause.
Clause 29 of the Procedure is stated in a different edition.
Thus, the amendments stipulated that conscripts, those liable for military service and reservists leaving Ukraine for permanent residence or for a period of more than 3 months are sent by the executive bodies of local councils to the appropriate TCC for removal from military registration and confiscation of military registration documents. This rule has been excluded.
The amendments also stipulate that cards for the primary registration of conscripts, those liable for military service and reservists excluded from the personal primary military registration due to their departure from Ukraine for permanent residence, as well as their departure to live on the territory of an administrative-territorial unit, which is served by other executive by local councils, are stored for 5 years and are destroyed after their next reconciliation with the credentials of the relevant TCCs and the drawing up of a report. Primary registration cards for conscripts excluded from personal primary military registration are retained until such citizens reach the age of 28.
The amendments to clause 29 provided that these cards of primary registration of conscripts, those liable for military service and reservists removed from military registration in connection with their departure to live in the territory of an administrative-territorial unit served by other executive bodies of local councils are preserved for 5 years and are destroyed after their next reconciliation with the credentials of the relevant TCCs with the drawing up of an act, and the primary registration cards of conscripts excluded from the personal primary military registration are retained until such citizens reach the age of 26.
