Kyiv, 24 December 2024. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has decided to automatically extend the validity of reservations for mobilisation for one month due to a large-scale cyberattack that temporarily suspended the operation of state registers. This was reported by Time Ukraine Israel, citing the official website of the Ministry of Economy.

Extension of time: details of the decision

The automatic extension applies to bookings valid as of 19 December 2024. The maximum extension period is until 28 February 2025. The decision applies to bookings made in accordance with Resolution No. 76 of 27 January 2023.

For example, if an employee’s booking was due to expire on 20 December 2024, it will be automatically extended until 20 January 2025. At the same time, reservations that expired before 19 December can only be renewed after the registers resume working.

“This decision minimises inconveniences for people liable for military service and helps to maintain work processes in industries that are important for the country,” said Deputy Minister of Economy Vitaliy Kindrativ.

Key points of innovation

  1. Automatic renewal: Reservations made through the Ministry of Economy or the Diia portal are extended for one month without additional procedures.
  2. Term limits: The maximum extension period is until 28 February 2025.
  3. Updating the register: The Ministry of Defence must, within five days of the adoption of the resolution, make the relevant changes to the Unified State Register of Conscripts, Persons Liable for Military Service and Reservists.

Maintaining economic stability in wartime

The changes are intended to simplify procedures for employers and employees, especially in critical industries. The government has stressed the importance of transparency and convenience in mobilisation processes.

The Ministry of Defence, together with the Ministry of Economy, continues to improve booking mechanisms to ensure the efficient operation of enterprises and maintain economic stability during martial law.
