The conditions of martial law impose special requirements on military personnel and pose serious challenges to them. However, in some cases, people who are in the military make decisions about desertion or voluntary abandonment.

Desertion means the failure of a serviceman to return to his military unit with the intention of avoiding service or its continuation. This is a violation of the military oath and law and may result in legal sanctions.

Voluntary desertion, in turn, involves the non-return of a serviceman to a military unit without the intention of avoiding service or its continuation. Often this is the result of stressful situations caused by military actions, loss of friends or family comfort. However, such actions are also a violation of military discipline and may have legal consequences.

It is important to understand that for desertion and arbitrarily leaving a military unit or place of service, a military man faces criminal liability!

That is why you should urgently contact specialized lawyers ⚖️ of the legal company "Prikhodko & Partners".
