Ukrainian legislation provides certain deferrals from military service for students and certain categories of persons. This possibility of removing mobilization covers education applicants who study on certain programs and forms of training.
Students who have received the summons and are entitled to defer from the call are advised to act promptly. Lawyer Rostislav Kravets recommends that you send a written statement to the territorial center of acquisition and a joint unit on a deferral from mobilization. In this statement, you must add copies of documents confirming your student status in a full -time study at a higher education institution.
If such a statement is not accepted, you can send an official letter to the military enlistment office, indicating the reasons for the refusal and adding all the necessary documents. This step is important to confirm your right to deferral.
Note that the deferral is only in place during training, and after the level of education (college, bachelor, master's degree), students can get under compulsory mobilization. Therefore, it is important to follow the established procedures and respond immediately to the summons in the event of a situation concerning the conscription.
