The Cabinet of Ministers has envisaged the possibility of extending by two months the postponement of conscription for people liable for military service during mobilization and wartime. The corresponding decision, initiated by the Ministry of Economy, the government approved at a meeting on September 7.

"To defeat the aggressor Ukraine must mobilize forces as much as possible in all directions. Clear, coordinated and stable work of state authorities, the normal functioning of the economy are extremely important tasks facing the country. This month and next month, the terms of deferments granted to thousands of specialists after the beginning of large-scale aggression will expire momentarily, which may threaten the stable work of the state and economic sector. Today's decision of the Government makes it possible to ensure constant and effective work of state authorities, local authorities, enterprises and organizations, which are now working for the victory on the home front",  said the First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Economy Yulia Sviridenko.

The government decision also stipulates that an extract from the order of the Ministry of Economy on the deferment of draft for an employee liable for military service may be provided and visa of the enterprise, institution or organization where he works. This expands the provisions of the Cabinet of Ministers' resolution "Some issues of reservation of persons liable for military service under the legal regime of martial law" of March 03, 2022 № 194, according to which only public authorities and other state agencies were vested with such powers.

This norm is intended to reduce the burden on state authorities, which will free up resources to strengthen work in other areas.

Earlier, the government supported a bill that expands the list of institutions and enterprises, the employees of which are subject to reservation.

Thus, the government bill on amending the Law of Ukraine "On mobilization training and mobilization" regarding the reservation of persons liable for military service during mobilization and in wartime provides, in particular, reservation of employees of state and local governments, if their work is necessary to ensure the functioning of these bodies, as well as employees of enterprises producing products for the AFU or critical to the functioning of the economy, enterprises and organizations, which have set mobilization tasks.
