Under conditions of full-scale With the Russian invasion and ongoing mobilization, issues related to the delivery of summonses are becoming increasingly relevant.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to an interview with lawyer Dmitry Franchuk in UNIAN.
Lawyer and human rights activist Dmitry Franchuk explained in which cases the delivery of a summons is considered legal, and when citizens can challenge this procedure.
Franchuk notes that a summons is considered properly delivered only if a number of conditions are met:
- the summons must be handed over personally to the person liable for military service;
- Leaving a summons in a mailbox or delivering it through relatives or neighbors has no legal force.
If the summons is sent by mail, the following requirements must be met:
- sending by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt;
- the presence of confirmation of receipt of the letter by the addressee or an indication of the reasons for non-delivery.
A citizen is obliged to receive the letter within the established period. Otherwise, it is automatically considered delivered.
Employers are also responsible for ensuring that summonses are personally delivered to their employees. Failure to comply with this rule may result in administrative liability for company executives.
The lawyer emphasized that illegal delivery of a summons can be challenged in court. Citizens are advised to keep all documents and notifications related to receiving summonses for possible appeal.
Meanwhile, NATO countries are discussing the possibility of deploying troops in Ukraine.
