Since 2024, a new law on mobilisation has been in force in Ukraine, which obliges all persons liable for military service to update their personal data. The deadline for this was set for 16 July, and those who have not complied with this requirement are already being sought. Colonel Serhiy Monukalo, deputy head of the mobilisation and defence sector of the Sumy Regional Military Commissariat, told in an interview what consequences await those liable for military service who have not yet updated their data, focus.ua reported.
How is the search carried out?
The main method of notification is through Ukrposhta or targeted notification. Employees of the territorial recruitment centres (TRCs) send the calls to the place of registration of persons liable for military service. It is important to note that a call-up notice is considered to be duly served only if it is handed over in person or recorded as a mail attachment with a detailed description. If the summons is thrown into the mailbox without an envelope or description, or if relatives refuse to accept it, it is not considered officially served.
What happens after the summons is not served?
If a person liable for military service does not live at the address provided, a request is submitted to the National Police to put him or her on the wanted list based on the information received. Anyone who fails to update their data is automatically entered into the database of violators of military registration rules. This status can lead to administrative and even criminal consequences for evading service.
