Mobilization in Ukraine is an important element of ensuring the country's national security and defense capability. Mobilization measures involve the mobilization of reserves, military-technical potential, as well as the involvement of citizens in military service in accordance with the procedures established by law.
In recent years, Ukraine has experienced a difficult situation due to the conflict and aggressive actions of the Russian Federation, the war has caused a lot of damage. In this regard, mobilization measures were intensified in order to ensure defense capability and protect the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Mobilization policy in Ukraine is based on relevant laws and regulations, which determine the mobilization procedure, rights and duties of citizens during this period. Such measures are regulated by the Constitution of Ukraine, laws on general military duty, laws on national security and other relevant legal acts.
Usually, when new mobilization laws are introduced, the list of categories of citizens eligible for deferment from military service may change. This may be related to various factors, such as changes in the social situation, the needs of the Armed Forces, economic or social factors, etc.
The exact list of categories of citizens who have the right to postponement is determined by the new law on mobilization, which was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, signed by the President and will enter into force on May 18, 2024.
This law provides for a deferral for the following categories of citizens of Ukraine:
1.Provision of postponement of mobilization for persons with disabilities of all groups, confirmed by the Military Medical Commission (MMC) and re-examination of the Military Medical Commission (MMC) after 6-12 months for persons with disabilities of all groups.

In times of war, legal aid becomes extremely important, as conflict situations can give rise to a wide range of legal issues and problems. In general, legal aid during wartime plays an important role in ensuring the protection of human rights, supporting military personnel and their families, upholding international humanitarian law and providing assistance to refugees and displaced persons. Some of the main aspects of wartime legal aid include: leave, injury, capture, UBD, discharge from the Armed Forces, transfer to another unit, etc.
