A summons is considered served if it is handed over to a citizen in person. This was stated by the spokesman for the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Dmytro Lazutkin, during the telethon.

“Let's work, first of all, with reality. There is no such norm now that a summons is thrown into a mailbox and it is already considered served. There is a different norm now. A person must personally sign the summons. And only at this point is it considered served,” the speaker explained.

Now, according to him, the procedure is as follows. If there is a resolution that will regulate this process in a different way, establish new rules, then it will be possible to comment on it.

He also commented on the statutory restriction of driving privileges, citing the scheme provided by law.

“Five days after a person who is supposed to appear at the TCC but evades, a demand to fulfill the duty of a person liable for military service is issued. Ten days later, if he or she ignores it, an appeal is made to the court, and the court decides to restrict the right to drive a vehicle. It is important to remember that this restriction is temporary. If a person updates their data, this restriction is lifted,” he emphasized.

Regarding various rumors about the seizure of cars, Lazutkin reminded that this norm is not new. However, it is primarily about special vehicles. Passenger cars, he said, if seized, are isolated cases.
