Ministry of Defense of Ukraine introduced important changes to the legislation concerning the military registration of former employees of the security forces.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to TV channel 112.
Since 2024, pensioners who previously held positions in law enforcement agencies are now required to register for military service and can be called up as part of mobilization activities. This innovation strengthens the country's mobilization reserve and emphasizes the strategic importance of experienced personnel.
The following categories of retired former security officials fall under the new requirements:
- employees of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine;
- former employees of the National Police of Ukraine;
- former employees of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
Previously, for this category of citizens, registration was voluntary, but with the new changes it has become mandatory.
The innovations are not limited to pensioners: civil servants who do not have an official reservation and fall under the status of conscripts are subject to mobilization on an equal basis with the civilian population.
The changes will affect both active employees of government agencies and those who have already retired from security structures. These measures are aimed at strengthening defense capability in the context of the need to quickly expand mobilization potential.
The Ministry of Defense has set July 16, 2024 as the deadline for updating the data. All conscripts, including retired law enforcement officers, are required to update their information
Against this backdrop, Korchinsky managed to speak out about lowering the draft age.
