Andriy Novak, a lawyer at the Miller law firm, told under what conditions military personnel can get leave, writes Ukrayinska Pravda.

“For the period of martial law, all holidays are abolished, except for those needed for family reasons.. The maximum duration of such holidays is 10 days,” he explained..

All these exceptions are described in the Law "

Every year, a member of the military may request such unpaid leave..

The reason may be:.

marriage;

funeral of one of the relatives or close persons;

the serious state of health of relatives by blood or marriage.

It is advisable to provide proof of this. For example, a copy of a death certificate or marriage registration application.

Also, in the event of an emergency in the family, for example, a fire or other natural disaster, the military can get up to 15 days of leave.. But for this, he must first submit a report and explain the situation..

The decision to grant leave and its duration is determined by the commander of the military unit. Leave for family reasons may be granted regardless of length of service.

Also, a soldier can get sick leave..

“By decision of the VVK (military medical commission), they can provide leave for rehabilitation and treatment. It can be up to 30 days, and after that, doctors conduct a second commission - if the patient needs to extend the vacation. It's not just about injuries.. This can be an exacerbation of chronic diseases or acute conditions (for example, inflammation of appendicitis),” Andrey Novak explained..

Another leave exception applies to female military personnel.. They may receive it due to pregnancy and childbirth, as well as to care for a child up to 3 years of age. If the child needs home care - then up to 6 years.

The law also states that in the event of dismissal from service, a soldier can receive monetary compensation if he did not use his right to leave..
