Mobilization in Ukraine: how to challenge the illegal call to the army

The order of mobilization of a person is issued after passing the VLK, the conclusion of which can be appealed in court. Expert Ilya Shipko gave recommendations on how to protect himself from an wrongful call. Simultaneously with the war in Ukraine, general mobilization continues, but sometimes conscripts are called for military service with violations by territorial centers of acquisition and social support (TCC and JV).

Lawyer Ilya Shipko replied how and in what cases it is possible to challenge mobilization. "It is a mistake to believe that from the moment of receipt of the summons a person is considered mobilized. A mobilized person who passed the VLK (Military Medical Commission-Ed. ) And received a mobilization order. If the military, who received such a mobilization order, considers it that it is wrong , he has the right to challenge it, " - informed the lawyer.

Shipko explained that it is impossible to challenge a mobilization order in court, because it is legally only notified by a military personnel about the need to appear in the CCC and JV on the specified date. However, he said, it is possible to challenge the conclusion of the VLK. "If, when clarifying the data, a person is given the right to defer, then there may not be a mobilization order.

Or if he or she does not agree with the conclusion of the VLK, then it can also be appealed in administrative or court order," the lawyer said. He advises: we will remind, the head of the Lviv Regional Criminal Code and JV Colonel Alexander Tyshchenko explained how the summons differs from the mobilization order. The lawyer Marina Bekalo answered whether the order of the Obolon District Shopping Center and the JV in Kiev is legitimate.
