On March 21, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted draft law No. 10313, which abolishes the concept of "limitedly fit for military service." Relevant amendments are made to the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service". The law must now be signed by Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The new rules will come into force one month after their official publication.

What will change after the adoption of the law for those who are limitedly fit?


After the status of "limited fitness" is canceled, there will be two possible options: fit and unfit. This means that once the law comes into force, all citizens of Ukraine who have previously been recognized by the military hospital commission as partially fit for service will be required to undergo a second medical examination to determine their fitness for service. The procedure for re-examination will take 9 months.


In addition, special attention will be paid to those persons liable for military service who received a disability of group II or III after February 24, 2022, except for servicemen who received a disability as a result of injury. Such tightening is primarily related to the work on detecting evaders. Please note that the electronic register "Oberih" is already being used at the border to check and detect forged documents of men trying to leave Ukraine.


We remind you! The rules for crossing the border for men have not changed, but border checkpoints have started to require additional confirmation from those who have the right to leave. Read what categories of men can freely leave Ukraine and what documents they need to have in 2024 in our previous article.
