Is it possible to resign from contract service?
Contract service in the Ukrainian Armed Forces is voluntary, and servicemen have the right to resign for various reasons, according to the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service." It is important to know that you are not alone in this process, as we can provide support at the territorial recruitment center and social support to ease your path to resignation.
Resignation is possible for the following reasons:
- Health: the presence of medical indications that make further service impossible;
- Age: reaching the maximum age for service;
- Family circumstances: the need to care for a child with a disability or sick relatives;
- Pregnancy: women's right to resign due to pregnancy;
- Accusation: the presence of a guilty verdict.
Amendments to Law No. 8009 expand the grounds for the resignation of servicemen who have lost loved ones during the war. If you are serving under a contract and need to resign, familiarize yourself with your rights, keep documents, and contact a lawyer for a detailed explanation of your options!
