If you are not eligible for the draft, do you need to pass the MMC?

Mobilization in Ukraine has been ongoing since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, which means that all conscripted men between the ages of 18 and 60 must contact the Territorial Center for Personnel and Social Security to clarify their information in the event of a subpoena. In this article, we will tell you whether it is necessary to do this if there is a status of "not suitable for wartime".

"White ticket" in Ukraine, what is it and to whom is it issued?

In the people, a "white ticket" is a document containing a conclusion of a military medical commission regarding a man's suitability for military service due to health or other reasons. There are three main categories of such documents in Ukraine:

• Limited suitability for military service.
• Unfit for military service in peacetime, limited fit in wartime.
• Ineligible for military service with exclusion from military registration.

In wartime, men classified in the first and second categories may be called up to serve in the army, but only for tasks in the rear. Those who received the third category are completely exempted from military duties, regardless of age.

Do persons who have the status "not suitable for mobilization" have to pass the VLK?

The conclusion that a person is unfit for military service is usually based on points 7, 11, 12 g, 13d, 24, 37, 44, 48, 56, 59, 65, 72, 81 of the medical list. The Military Medical Commission notes that it takes from six months to a year to treat a disease that prevents you from obtaining the status of "fit". After that, the man must again pass the VLK, where he can confirm his unfitness for service, change his status to "unfit", or join the ranks of the Armed Forces with the status "fit".

Categories of people who do not need to pass the VLK

According to Clause 63 of the Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 560, which entered into force on 18.05.2024, in the case of a positive decision on postponement, the citizen is issued a corresponding certificate and does not need to undergo a military medical examination.

Also, from the moment of applying for a postponement until the moment of making a decision on the merits of this application, a citizen cannot be sent to the military medical commission. However, in the case when, based on the results of the application review, a decision is made to refuse to grant a deferment, the citizen will be forced to go through the VLC.

The importance of legal advice in matters of the passing of the VLK by persons who are not subject to conscription

Legal support in such cases allows citizens to receive professional support and correct legal analysis regarding their status before the VLK. The cost of the consultation may vary depending on the amount of legal assistance required, which includes the preparation of necessary documents and clarification of legal aspects related to the passing of the VLK.
