Mobilization in a new way: all citizens who have been recognized as partially fit must undergo a second medical examination

According to the new draft law on mobilization, all conscripted citizens who have been declared partially fit must undergo a second medical examination within 9 months.


If the new draft law on mobilization is adopted, all men aged 25-55 who received a disability of groups II and III after February 24, 2022, will also have to undergo a "fitness review." The deadline for these men is set at the end of 2024.


Exceptions are made for those who received disabilities of groups II and III in the army, as well as those who are missing a limb due to amputation.


The new draft law on mobilization also specifies valid reasons for not coming to the TCC within the time limits specified in the summons:

  1. natural disasters;
  2. illness of a conscript, person liable for military service, or reservist;
  3. death of a close relative (parents, spouse, child, siblings, grandparents) or a close relative of the spouse.


In this case, the reasons for non-arrival must be reported to the TCC within 3 days before the deadline specified in the summons.


At the same time, the new draft law on mobilization introduces the norm of "measures of influence". Thus, if a conscript called up by a summons does not appear at the TCC within 15 days, a demand to fulfill the duties prescribed by the TCC will be sent to his or her electronic account. The form of this demand is to be established by the Ministry of Defense.


The new draft law on mobilization stipulates that the Military Commissariat must send an additional demand for attendance (not a summons) to a potential evader. This is to be done within five days. After that, in theory, an appeal to the court and the imposition of sanctions follows.


However, the text of the draft law states that the demand can be sent either through an electronic account (if it is registered) or by mail. But not under signature (this option is not specified in the text of the draft law). That is, any delay in the delivery of a paper claim may result in the case going to court, although the person will not be properly warned.


It is worth noting that medical institutions want to oblige people aged 18-25 to report their hospitalization. The mobilization age in the proposed draft law was reduced to 25 years.


Thus, hospital managers will have to report to the TCC on the arrival of such patients within three days.
