Mobilization in Ukraine: Can Group III Disabled Army

According to lawyer Ivan Liberman, they can mobilize people with disabilities of group III even on the basis that Ukrainian citizens should serve in the army by law. In the middle of the summer of 2022, the Verkhovna Rada was offered to call people with disabilities, but only with their consent. As far as it is legitimate, the Doctor of Law, a member of the National Advocates of Ukraine Ivan Liberman, comments.

According to the lawyer, this bill was posted on the Parliament's website, but the Law of Ukraine "On Mobilization Training and Mobilization" (Article 23) stipulates that persons with disabilities during the specified period can be called for military service only with their consent and only at the place residence. At the same time, Liberman notes that group III is a slight disability, that is, it is a slight health disorder that allows a person to fight.

"There are different ways to participate in hostilities. You can raise ammunition, dig trenches or cook food, etc. That is, the Armed Forces service can be completely different, the so -called alternative service," the lawyer explains. According to the current legislation, they are not subject to conscription during the mobilization of the military: the lawyer draws attention that in Art.

23 of the Law does not clearly stated disability group, respectively, people with any disability group are not subject to mobilization. However, he adds that they can mobilize people with disabilities of group III even on the basis that Ukrainian citizens should serve in the army in accordance with the legislation. "In addition, many of the Ukrainians have made themselves information about group III before the war to receive social benefits, privileges, go to sanatoriums, etc.

Thus, many healthy people who do not have disabilities will now be temporary, with consent, with consent, with consent And then it is necessary to serve in the army, " - says Liberman. If you arrive, you need to appear in the military enlistment office at the specified time and bring with you documents confirming your disability. People with disabilities will only be able to mobilize after a thorough examination of the VLK.
