Demobilization of relatives of the dead

The duty to defend the Motherland is, without a doubt, weighty and honorable, because it is the efforts of our defenders that ensure the relative peace of cities located far from the front line. However, in certain situations, a person may be demobilized from the ranks of the Armed Forces. On May 3, Law № 8009 was adopted, which expanded the grounds for some citizens to be released from military service.

Who is it about?

This refers to those military personnel whose close relatives died or went missing during the ATO/OOS and full-scale war, defending the Motherland. Among such relatives can be: husband, wife, full and half brothers and sisters, sons or daughters, grandfather or grandmother.

Such a rule of law is completely logical, understandable and timely. In some families, several sons and/or daughters or several generations of people fight at once. So when someone dies or goes missing, it becomes a big stress for the whole family. And in some families, several people have already died who went to defend their state from the enemy. Such a tragedy often becomes an overwhelming test for those who remained. That is why, guided by the logic of military reality and the corresponding public demand, legislators took care of the necessary legal norm. It applies to both those who are mobilized and those who serve under a contract.

At the same time, it is about the right to be dismissed from the ranks of the Armed Forces, and not the obligation. There are many situations when the death of a relative in the war, on the contrary, motivated one of his relatives to sign a contract with the Armed Forces and continue an important and honorable cause.
