Mobilization in Ukraine: what to do to the military if they do not give directions to the VLK

According to representatives of the Armed Forces Command, in case of problematic issues, you can call the hotline to the relevant services or go to court. The Verkhovna Rada prepares large-scale changes to the rules of mobilization in Ukraine that will relate to the military accounting, the military medical commission, military service and social support of the military. This is provided in the new bill No. 10378 of December 25, 2023, which was published on the official webport of parliament.

As stated in this document, the total mobilization in Ukraine lasts from February 24, 2022, and all men from 18 to 60 years during martial law are considered conscripts. That is, any of the men who are not entitled to deferral and are recognized as being used at the Military Medical Commission (VLK) can be mobilized. Therefore, the law stipulates that a potentially mobilized person is obligatory undergoing a VLK and a call without such a decision is prohibited.

However, there are cases where military personnel in the military unit are refused referral to the VLK. Therefore, the Armed Forces Command on its own Facebook page told how to act in such a situation.

If the military unit and other authorized persons refuse the military to refer to the VLK, it is necessary to call and explain the problem: if after a telephone conversation the issue is not moved from the place, military doctors recommend that you apply to the court with the request to oblige the commander of the military Produce parts to the VLK. "There is currently a practice of positive decisions on such issues," the message reads.

It should be reminded that the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, together with law enforcement agencies, will check the conclusions of the VLK issued after the start of a full -scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine.
