A simplified mechanism for returning to the service after HRC will not be applied to a separate category of the military.
Those fighters who left the military unit after November 29 last year will not be able to use a simplified mechanism. On January 28, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported on January 28.
For the first time, the military who went to the HSC may return to the service without criminal liability until March 1, 2025 and transferred to another unit. However, this does not apply to those who conducted HSC after November 29, 2024.
Such military personnel, even if this is their first HRC, cannot return to the service and be exempted from criminal liability for a quick simplified algorithm, the message says.
These military will have to go through a general procedure, which provides:
- receipt of the written consent of the commander of the unit remaining or the reserve battalion, where he will be sent for the duration of the update in the service;
- conducting a criminal investigation;
- The court’s decision on the basis of the prosecutor from the prosecutor’s office was the military were exempted from liability.
The memorandum noted that the military will be extended only after a court decision. And the soldiers who committed the HSC after November 29 can wait a few months to resume. At this point, they do not receive cash and other guarantees.
For the same soldiers who left part of the long time, that is, until November 29, and this is their first HRC, it remains the opportunity to return to the service until March 1, 2025 under a simplified algorithm and extended in the service for three days, the ministry said defense.
We will recall that on January 9, the Verkhovenna RADA P supported the expansion of the voluntary deadline for the return of the military to the service after the first unauthorized vacation until March 1, 2025.
