The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine registered the Bill No. 12442, which provides for criminal liability for employees of territorial centers of completion (TCC) and military medical commissions (VLK) in case of violation of the procedure of mobilization and conduct of medical examinations. The text of the document appeared on the website of Parliament.
Amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine provide for punishment for officials of the Criminal Code and members of the VLC for violation of the legislation on defense, mobilization training and mobilization.
As stated in the explanatory note, the adoption of this Law should create legal mechanisms for a quick investigation of cases of illegal conscription or exemption from mobilization.
✅ For Officials of the Shopping Center:
- For the illegal conscription of a non -mobilized citizen or unlawful dismissal of the military is provided:
- service restriction for up to 2 years;
- detention in a disciplinary battalion for up to 2 years;
- imprisonment for up to 5 years.
- In the state of martial law, the punishment is increased - from 3 to 8 years imprisonment with a ban on holding certain positions or engaged in certain activities from 1 to 3 years.
✅ For VLK doctors:
- For the illegal decision to mobilize persons unsuitable for health or, conversely, falsification of dismissal is provided:
