Details: The bill aims to eliminate legal uncertainty regarding mobilisation deferrals for individuals whose relatives have died or are missing due to Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.

The legislation proposes amendments to Article 23 of the Law of Ukraine On Mobilisation Preparation and Mobilisation. It specifies that women and men whose close relatives have died or gone missing during combat operations are exempt from conscription during mobilisation in a special period.

Background: On 20 November, the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament) passed Bill No. 12104 to clarify grounds for granting deferrals to military service for individuals whose close relatives have died or gone missing during combat operations.
