During martial law, the mobilization of vehicles has become a reality for both enterprises and individual car owners. Law Firm “Prikhodko and Partners” helps to understand the specifics of car seizure and what are the risks for owners.

Who can have a car seized for the Armed Forces of Ukraine?

In wartime, vehicles can be mobilized for the needs of the armed forces within the framework of military transport duty. This applies to both state and municipal transport, as well as the property of companies and citizens. Car seizure is legal and is carried out according to certain rules and criteria.

Mobilization of vehicles

The amount of transport that can be mobilized from enterprises is determined at the state level - in percentage terms depending on the industry. As for citizens, only those cars that are technically suitable for military needs, and provided that the owner has more than one vehicle, are subject to mobilization.

What is the procedure for mobilizing vehicles?

The procedure for mobilizing vehicles involves a clear sequence of actions - from registration to the actual transfer of equipment to military formations. First of all, the transport of organizations is subject to military registration in the CCC and the Joint Venture and is maintained systematically: twice a year, enterprises submit information about the available vehicles, their technical condition and the personnel who drive them.

Additionally, vehicles are checked for mobilization readiness. Such checks are carried out periodically according to approved plans, which allows you to determine which vehicles can be used for defense needs.

When there is a need to attract vehicles, the company is obliged to deliver them to the designated transfer points. The car must be technically sound, complete and have all the necessary documents. In turn, the transfer is formalized by an acceptance and transfer act, which is signed by representatives of the enterprise, CCC and military unit.

After that, the car is registered with the relevant military unit, undergoes departmental registration and, if necessary, technical inspection.

Important! We recommend that you consult with a specialist in military registration and enlistment issues regarding the procedure for alienating a vehicle, because in order to avoid any negative consequences in the future, you need to understand the procedure and features in advance.

Is it possible to receive compensation for the seizure of a car?

Yes, the legislation provides for compensation in case of damage / loss of a car recruited for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After the announcement of demobilization, the vehicle must be returned to the owner within 30 days through the military registration and enlistment office. To do this, the business manager must submit an appropriate application, after which the terms and place of return are determined.

Before returning, the military unit must ensure the maintenance of the vehicle, its refueling and delivery, and it is also returned together with registration documents and license plates.

If the car was damaged during use, a mandatory assessment of the damage is carried out. It is carried out by independent appraisers and forensic experts, and the cost of such work is covered by the state.

The fact of return is formalized by a special act, to which a property valuation report is attached. It is this document that is the basis for further compensation for losses. Thus, the owner has the right to compensation if the fact of damage or loss of the vehicle as a result of its mobilization is proven.

Is a single car confiscated?

If a citizen has only one car, it is not subject to mobilization. But a different situation arises when two or more cars are owned. In this case, the CCC chooses the vehicle that best meets military needs.

At the same time, the main burden of transferring transport falls not on individuals, but on business and the public sector. However, individual companies that already work for defense and provide critical needs can justify the need to preserve their vehicles.
