Into the army up to 25: who will not actually be able to call the new bill

People's deputies propose to prohibit the mobilization of those who have not yet turned 25 years. But only if they have not graduated from the military department and did not serve. The focus understood how a new norm will work.

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence has supported the bill 11379-d, which provides for a ban on the mobilization of Ukrainians aged 18 to 25 years, which have not previously passed the conscript service and did not graduate from the military department, as well as those, as well as those, Who received the status of "restricted" in wartime. The document provides for the right to release if such people have managed to take it to the front.

"The Committee has developed a bill that forbids calling citizens between the ages of 18 and 25, who were declared unsuitable in peacetime and limited to military. The document also states that people under 25 years of age will be mobilized under such conditions. , - said Roman Kostenko, Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Defense Committee. The People's Deputy specified that the Committee recommended that the Parliament approve this project of the law in the first reading and in general.

The document must now be considered in the session hall of the Council. According to the law on mobilization, conscripts are subject to conscripts over 25 years older than 25 years. However, in practice, it is often the case that young people are sent to the front much younger than the established age. Focus has repeatedly wrote about Ukrainians who had not reached the age of 25 and had not previously served as a conscript service or the military department who were taken to the war.

So, in June, 19-year-old Vadim Yashchuk was mobilized from Vinnytsia region. And in April 2024-21-year-old Nazarius Derun from Tulchin of Vinnytsia region. The staff of the shopping center forcefully sent the guy to the VLK and then to the military unit. The lawyer Oleg Leontiev told focus that the situations when young men were sent to the landfill are happening constantly.

Although the conscript age in a special period, according to the law on mobilization, comes from 25 years, if the guy is a reserve, it can be called. "Reservists are those who have previously passed military service, graduated from a military department or those who have been declared unsuitable for military service in peacetime and limited to service in a special period. The third category is the most common reason why boys under 25 years Front, "the lawyer explains.

According to the People's Deputy Alexei Goncharenko, the author of the bill, on the basis of which a document prohibited the mobilization of certain categories of conscripts for up to 25 years has been finalized, the norm will only affect those who have previously received a "limited-applicable" mark in wartime. "There are those who served conscript service or graduated from a military department, they are reserve officers or reserve servicemen. They can always be called, regardless of age.

They cannot be 18 years old because at this age they would not have time to finish their studies. But 22 years Maybe a new bill does not apply to these people. "In wartime. This means that such a person was not taken to the conscript service, but they issued a temporary certificate of the military. Thus, these people went into the category of conscripts. And after the Council adopted a law on mobilization, they, they, Regardless of age, they came under the call, " - explains the politician.

According to Goncharenko, the bill provides for the opportunity to be dismissed from service for those who are younger than 25 years, had not previously passed either the conscript or the military department. "When the law comes into force, the next day after the document is signed by the President, the military, who are the rules of the document, will be able to submit a report that should be considered within 30 days, it is a standard procedure," the People's Deputy notes.

According to Goncharenko, the Ministry of Defense does not agree with the initiative of the Verkhovna Rada. The department believes that the mobilization of certain categories of people who have reached the age of 25 is under the law. "I first appealed to the Ministry of Defense, but they replied that everything was under the law. Then I prepared a bill that would resolve a delay for those who were not yet 25 years old.
