The issue of temporary reservation of employees of the military-industrial complex was discussed at the discussion “DIC-2026: efficiency, development, scaling”, organized by Radio NV and NAUDI.

On October 9, parliament supported the bill on temporary reservation for 45 days for workers liable for military service of critical infrastructure and defense industry enterprises for 45 days. The mechanism was conceived as a way to legally employ workers who are not registered with the military or have problems with documents, and to give them time to organize them.

The position of the legislators was voiced by Vadim Ivchenko, member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, People's Deputy of Ukraine. According to him, parliament provided for a 45-day reservation, but the government is constantly adjusting by-laws, which is why the mechanism changes after the law is adopted.

“We have provided the possibility of booking for 45 days so that a person can organize his military registration documents. But the government quite often changes by-laws, and in fact, since February 1, the situation has changed again,” Ivchenko noted..

Recently, the Cabinet of Ministers approved an updated reservation procedure, which allows the Ministry of Defense to designate enterprises as critical without specifying the exact number of military personnel subject to reservation, which should simplify the work of defense industries.

Despite the adopted law and by-laws, the mechanism never worked due to the lack of technical implementation in the Diya application.. The booking launch was planned for January 9, but businesses still do not have access to the tool. Deputy Galina Yanchenko noted that the full launch of the initiative is expected in the spring.
