Legal assistance during war

Although this is a very difficult and emotional situation, unfortunately, such a reason as dismissal from military service due to the capture of a relative is not provided for by Ukrainian legislation.

There are grounds for dismissal due to serious family circumstances or other valid reasons. Legal advice during war is crucial for understanding rights and responsibilities in a tumultuous environment.
