Foreign passport in exchange for a military ticket: what awaits Ukrainians abroad under the new mobilization law

Ukrainians abroad have to update their data in military enlistment offices in order not to lose the opportunity to continue their foreign passports. This is how the new mobilization law is evidenced. But you do not need to go home. Focus found out how Ukrainians would be registered abroad. People's Deputy Fedor Venislavsky believes that the military abroad does not need to return to Ukraine to update the data for the Tax Code and JV.

This can be done remotely, as the military enlistment office is enough to know that a person lives in another country, so as not to send him or her. "A person can reside abroad, and they are sent messages, summaries registered in the shopping center. The state spends time, material and human resources to inform the person who in principle cannot be informed because it is not in this city," - The People's Deputy noted.

The politician also added that Ukrainians are not obliged to return home after updating information. "The responsibilities for these citizens after updating or receiving military accounting documents on return to Ukraine are not established, and the mechanisms are very difficult to imagine such mechanisms," the People's Deputy said. After clarifying the data, according to Venislavsky, a military ticket can be obtained remotely.

"Therefore, there are no problems here and there will be no negative consequences for these people," he added. Although Venislavsky noted that the people's deputies provided the mechanism of remote data updating, in particular the receipt of military accounting documents, in the text of the bill, which experts were introduced to Ukrainians abroad.

According to the law, all men aged 18-60 should update data in military enlistment offices within 60 days from the date of entry into force of the norm. This applies, in particular, to conscripts abroad. You can do this through the conscript electronic office. The registration in it remains voluntary. If the conscript does not update the data, sanctions may be applied to it: abroad will be restricted in the right to obtain consular services.

In Ukraine, they will be fined or temporarily deprived of the driver's license. It is known that men receive a military ticket after passing the medical commission. The fact that the VVC can be passed abroad has not been mentioned before. For this reason, experts believe that the words of the People's Deputy are an attempt to sweeten the pill for those who are concerned about the need to continue the foreign passport urgently.

After all, after the Verkhovna Rada voted for the law, kilometer queues of men were lined up to the passport tables of Poland and the Czech Republic, who wanted to change the documents before the rules come into force. "No one will receive a military service and receive a military ticket abroad, even if such an option is envisaged. Some men risk health and even life to escape from the country during the war.

And I very much doubt that they need to inform the military enlistment offices About your place of residence. Leontiev. The only mechanism provided for in the law that allows you to update the data of the remote and e -cabinet of the conscript. It is unclear how the system will work.

According to Mykola Maximov's lawyer by the lawyer of the lawyer "Riyako & Partners", the Cabinet of Ministers should approve a number of normative legal acts that will be aimed at implementing the provisions of the law. Although the document must come into force a month after signing the President, it may take up to six months.

However, even if the conscript, as soon as he works, specify the actual residence of the military, e -mail and telephone number, it is impossible to obtain a military ticket only on the basis of this information, experts say. In any case, this is not provided by law. "Until a person has passed the commission, he remains a civilian. It is the VLK that establishes the suitability or unfitness of the man before the military service. "The case will be closed," the lawyer continues.

According to Leontiev, the restrictions provided by law for violators, some of them are discriminatory. And they are unlikely to work on Ukrainians abroad. "They can punish those who have a driver's license. And who is not, they cannot, they cannot.

I think the Constitutional Court will sooner or later abolish this norm, and if not, those who are held accountable will turn to the ECtHR, where the norm is Recognizing a couple of thousand euros of compensation for a couple of thousands of euros of compensation. . Political scientist Alexander Kochetkov also believes that the new law on mobilization will not affect those who are abroad.

"There is no voluntary to fight there, and to force them to update the data and punish them for failure to comply with the norm, while they are abroad. Focus has previously wrote that the new law on strengthening mobilization actually removes the concept of stories to update data. All conscripts must appear in the CCC and JV within 60 days from the date of validity of the document.
