Military law in Ukraine

26.09.2025 16:13:46 Under Ukrainian law, a soldier may be recognized as unfit for military service primarily based on medical and health-related grounds. The main legal framework governing this is the "Law of Ukraine on Military Duty and Military Service" along with relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Defense and other governmental bodies. Here are some key grounds for recognizing a soldier as unfit: 1. **Medical Conditions**: Soldiers may be deemed unfit if they have medical conditions that significantly impair their ability to perform military duties. This includes both physical and mental health issues. 2. **Physical Disabilities**: Permanent or severe physical disabilities that prevent a soldier from carrying out basic military tasks can be grounds for being declared unfit. 3. **Psychological Disorders**: Mental health conditions, such as severe depression, PTSD, or other psychological disorders that affect a soldier's ability to function effectively in the military environment, may lead to an assessment of unfitness. 4. **Injury**: Injuries sustained either in combat or otherwise that result in long-term incapacitation can also render a soldier unfit for service. 5. **Chronic Illnesses**: Chronic illnesses that require ongoing treatment or significantly limit physical capabilities might disqualify someone from continued service. The process typically involves medical examination by a military medical commission, which assesses the individual's health status against set standards and criteria outlined in Ukrainian regulations. The decision to recognize a soldier as unfit is usually made after thorough evaluation and documentation of the condition impacting their service capability.

03.10.2025 13:33:53 In Ukraine, the grounds for recognizing a serviceman as **unfit for military service** are defined by the Law “On Military Duty and Military Service,” the Law “On Social and Legal Protection of Servicemen and Members of Their Families,” and the Regulation on Military Medical Examination. The key factor is the serviceman’s **health condition**, which is evaluated by the **Military Medical Commission (MMC)**. The Commission determines whether a person is fit, partially fit, or completely unfit for service. Grounds include severe chronic illnesses, mental disorders, traumatic injuries that prevent performing duties, or officially recognized disability. In some cases, age limits or family circumstances may also provide grounds for exemption, but the decisive factor remains the medical conclusion. The procedure involves undergoing a medical examination, after which the MMC issues a formal conclusion.
