Military advocate

Today, client inquiries related to the field of military law occupy an important place in the work of lawyers at the law firm “Prіkhodko&Partners”. This area of ​​law is one of the key ones in our specialization. In addition, during a full-scale war, military law is the object of interest of many people, given their own or close relatives’ service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The issue of registration of deferment, protection of rights during service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, recalculation of military pensions is far from the entire range of issues that are within the competence of a military lawyer.

So if you need truly professional help and effective resolution of situations that arise in your legal field, contact us.

Specialized legislation in the field of military law

Among those legislative and regulatory acts that are most often referred to are:

• The Law “On Military Duty and Military Service”;
• Law “On Mobilization Training and Mobilization”;
• Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers № 560 “On Approval of the Procedure for Conscription of Citizens for Military Service During Mobilization, for a Special Period”.

This is the legislation that regulates the issue of mobilization during a special period. As for the two mentioned laws, they contain the main provisions regarding military service. For example, Article 23 of the Law “On Mobilization Training and Mobilization” is of particular interest, since it lists the grounds for deferring mobilization. This article has been amended several times over the past three years. Some grounds have been narrowed or clarified, given the constant need of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to replenish personnel to defend the Motherland.

As for Government Resolution № 560, it specifies some of the provisions of the above-mentioned laws. For example, its Appendices contain a list of documents confirming a person’s right to deferment from military service in time of war.

It is worth noting that the mere presence of grounds for this does not exempt from mobilization.

A person receives a deferment only if he has properly documented the presence of such grounds. In other cases, he may be mobilized on general grounds – as one who has not exercised the right to deferment.

Let’s consider this with an example: a conscript works at a critically important enterprise and has a reservation, but he has not registered for special registration. If such a person has not registered for special registration, he may lose the right to deferment.

Given all of the above, it is important to understand: only correct actions in the legal sphere will make it possible to protect your rights and legitimate interests.

Conscripts turn to us for the following categories of services:

1. 24/7 consultation/consultative support on mobilization issues. We know very well how many questions arise for conscripts in the conditions of constant changes in mobilization legislation.
2. Analysis of documents for obtaining a deferment. This service makes it possible to assess the prospects for obtaining a deferment from military service in your case. And already understanding these prospects, it will be much easier to plan the next algorithm of actions.
3. Deferment from mobilization “turnkey”. When there is a reason for a deferment, it is very important to correctly confirm it.
4. Support by a lawyer in the CCC and SP. The service of physical support to the CCC is one of the most popular today. And this is natural, given the fact that there are numerous violations of the rights of conscripts by representatives of these centers. On the other hand, professional support makes it possible to avoid such manifestations of the human factor, and the key thing is to prevent force mobilization.
5. Updating data in the CCC and SP. If a person does not update data in accordance with the requirements of current legislation, this threatens with fines from 17 to 25.5 thousand hryvnias. Therefore, it is better to take care of these issues in a timely manner.
6. Legal support for booking employees and recognition as a critically important enterprise. We support the booking procedure at all stages.
7. Appealing the conclusions of the VLK. Situations when a person is “healthier” in the conclusion of the VLK are quite common than in real life. We know how to appeal the conclusion of the VLK both in the procedural order (to a higher VLK) and in the judicial format (to the administrative court).

These are the key issues with which those subject to military service turn to us.

As for those who are already serving in the Armed Forces, servicemen or their relatives, as a rule, address the following requests to military lawyers:

Analysis of documents and grounds for discharge from military service. For example, a serviceman was injured or a third child was born to him.

Turnkey discharge from military service. This involves supporting the discharge procedure at all stages.

Payments of 15 million hryvnias for the deceased. Protecting the rights of the families of deceased servicemen is one of the priorities facing the field of military law today. Although the state is not able to return their relatives to their families, it fixes a number of important social guarantees in the current legal norms.

Payments for the injury of a serviceman. Such payments contribute to the fact that the wounded person can recover better.

Recalculation of monetary benefits. And this topic for appeals is especially relevant for military personnel who served in the period from 2020-2023, or are currently serving, since the amount of the latter’s financial support was calculated from the outdated subsistence minimum.
