Reservists, ATO participants and after "military" at universities: which of the men under 27 will be sent to the war

The process of general mobilization in Ukraine often raises issues, despite the second year of a full -scale war with the Russian Federation. One of the problems is the age criterion of conscripts and conscripts who are selected to the Armed Forces. The focus understood the problem and found out in what circumstances young fighters enter the army. Ukrainian legislation is shared by the concept of conscript, conscript and reservist. Men between the ages of 18 and 27 are considered conscripts.

Such men are subject to conscription only. However, they can be called into the army during a full -scale war, if they fall into the following categories: "conscripts who are in the register and are not trapped in the above criteria, do not call to the Armed Forces during martial law. register of conscripts to the register of conscripts. They can be mobilized to the Armed Forces without combat experience. The difference is only in the status of a serviceman.

Mobilization in Ukraine is now only for military service, " - explains Focus the military lawyer of JSC" Vozniuk and Turovsky "Yulia Kostyuk. Participation in hostilities even one day is considered a law of combat experience, but it must be confirmed. The contract service in the army and participation in hostilities in the Donbass will be suitable. The soldier aged 18-27 years is first registered in the military unit, and after the contract is completed-to the register of conscripts, says Kostyuk.

Voluntary preliminary training courses, combat training, training, organized by public associations, courses from Azov and other former welfare do not change the status of a conscript aged 18 to 27 years. He does not turn into a conscript and is not subject to conscription in wartime, the lawyer emphasized. Another controversial category is unusable in peacetime, but limited to military.

Such a person from the register of conscripts is transferred to the register of conscripts, even if they are not 27 years old, said Natalia Vasilyuk, a lawyer "Riyako & Partners". "In this case, the main criterion is health. If LKC recognizes it completely unusable, it will be excluded from the register of military. . If people have gone into territorial defense forces that are officially part of the Armed Forces, they are considered to be conscripts.

Participation in volunteer units formed in the first days of the Great War is not officially considered combat experience. "If a person has shot from a gun three times, this is not called proper training. Training centers are created in military units, people are sent there and profile military specialists prepare them," - summed up Vasilyuk. We will remind, in the Verkhovna Rada recently proposed to improve the mobilization process.
