Mobilization in Ukraine: How many members of one family can call the Armed Forces

According to lawyer and lawyer Rostislav Kravts, there is no clear law in Ukraine that would prohibit the mobilization of all family members. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine voted for prolonging in Ukraine the actions of martial law and general mobilization until August 18, 2023. Accordingly, citizens between the ages of 18 and 60 can mobilize for military service. How many people from one family can mobilize, ICTV facts report.

According to the lawyer and lawyer Rostislav Kravets, today there is no clear law in Ukraine that would prohibit the mobilization of all family members. "They can mobilize everyone. Both husband, and adult children. If all family members are subject to mobilization, then they can be called to military service," the lawyer says. However, there are cases where family members can not mobilize the Armed Forces.

This applies to families where one of the close relatives died during the war against the Russian Federation or one of them is considered missing. That is, if a person died in the war or disappeared, then his close relatives will not mobilize. In this case, close relatives are considered: according to Art. 2 of the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service", if the family has minor children, the husband can mobilize and the wife is not.

However, if children are adults in the family, they can mobilize both husband and wife. They are not subject to conscription during martial law: we recall that according to the last resolution, military accounting for conscripts begins at 16 years. This means that 17-year-olds that are not registered may be prohibited from traveling abroad. The lawyer shared the recommendations on actions when receiving a summons from the military enlistment office, despite the delay from mobilization.
