How to resign from contract service? - Legal support

During the period of mobilization in Ukraine, some men and women concluded contracts with the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), as they were not called up for mobilization. Contract service is one of the forms of military service, when a person is obliged to serve for a certain period according to the terms of the contract. A distinctive feature of this form is that it differs from military service, which includes mobilization, where individuals are drafted without entering into a contract for military service. In this article, we will consider what are the terms of service under a contract during wartime and the possibility of early termination of the contract.

Grounds for dismissal from military service of contractors

Grounds for discharge of servicemen from military service under contract cover a variety of circumstances, including:

• On the basis of age – the serviceman's achievement of the maximum age established for military service.
• Due to the state of health - in cases where a medical examination finds him unfit for military service, with exclusion from military registration.
• In connection with legal aspects - in the case of the imposition of a punishment that involves deprivation of liberty, restriction of liberty or deprivation of a military rank in accordance with a court verdict that has entered into force.
• Due to family circumstances or other important reasons, which include: The need for care for children with special needs. The need to provide constant care for sick family members or other persons who need specialized care. Pregnancy of female servicemen or the need to care for minor children in accordance with established requirements.
• In case of mobilization or introduction of martial law - in accordance with the legislation in force during the special period.

These grounds are considered and used in accordance with the requirements of Part 5 of Article 26 of the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service".

What is the term of the contract with the Armed Forces during martial law?

In connection with the expiration of the contract from the moment of the introduction of martial law, dismissal is not possible.
