Professional support in Ukraine on issues of military service, mobilization obligations, the rights of military personnel, and disputes with defense sector authorities
Military law: essence, challenges, and the need for legal support
Military law covers the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law “On Military Duty and Military Service”, the Law “On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization”, the Disciplinary Statute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, numerous resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers, and internal orders of the Ministry of Defense. This area includes procedures for military registration, mobilization, service, payments, social guarantees, healthcare support, the legal status of a serviceman, and the procedure for liability.
Conflicts often arise because of mistakes made by territorial recruitment centers, incorrectly executed documents of the Military Medical Commission, delays in payments, forced deployment to service without following the procedure, or unlawful disciplinary liability. In such cases qualified legal assistance in military law is required, because the consequences of an incorrect decision for a serviceman or a conscript are serious: from restrictions on freedom of movement to criminal liability under Article 336 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, from deterioration of health to loss of the compensation provided by law.
Legal foundations of military duty and military service
- Article 65 of the Constitution of Ukraine: “The defense of the Fatherland, the independence and the territorial integrity of Ukraine is the duty of citizens of Ukraine.”
- The Law of Ukraine “On Military Duty and Military Service”: – defines the procedure for military registration; – regulates the rights and obligations of conscripts, persons liable for military service, and reservists; – establishes the procedures for conscription and mobilization; – defines the grounds for discharge from military service.
- The Law “On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization”: – describes the procedure for announcing mobilization; – regulates the obligations of state authorities, territorial recruitment centers, and citizens; – defines reservation systems and deferments.
- Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 402 “On Approval of the Regulation on Military Medical Examination”: – establishes the procedure for the work of the Military Medical Commission and the criteria of fitness for service.
- Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 168 dated 28.02.2022: – regulates one-time and monthly payments to military personnel.
- The Disciplinary Statute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: – defines types of disciplinary penalties; – describes the procedure for appealing disciplinary decisions.
Typical legal problems in the military sphere
- Unlawful service of a summons: without establishing identity, without legal grounds, without inclusion in the lists of persons liable for military service in the territorial recruitment center.
- Unlawful detention or forced delivery to the territorial recruitment center.
- Incorrect execution of documents during mobilization.
- Violations in the work of the Military Medical Commission: superficial examinations, refusal to include medical documents, incorrect diagnoses.
- Violation of a serviceman’s right to leave for family reasons.
- Refusal of payments for formal reasons.
- Absence of an order on appointment to a position, which blocks the receipt of financial support.
- Disciplinary penalties without evidence or without a service investigation procedure.
- Failure to recognize an injury as combat-related or related to the performance of duties.
- Incorrect calculation of compensation, one-time payments, assistance in case of injury or disability.
- Refusal of the territorial recruitment center to grant a deferment although the law provides such a right.
Legal assistance in military law includes the analysis of each of these situations, identification of violations, preparation of documents, and representation before state authorities.
