Due to Russian military aggression in Ukraine, general mobilization and martial law continue. Men liable for military service from 18 to 60 years old are subject to mobilization. They must come with documents to the territorial acquisition center (TCC) after receiving the summons. Lawyer Rostislav Kravets told what threatens those who do not appear at the TCC and some reasons that can be considered valid for non-attendance.

Failure to appear at the TCC: what is the responsibility.

During general mobilization, conscription for military service occurs by serving subpoenas.. Mostly, first, a person is handed a summons to clarify the credentials of the military registration and enlistment office, as well as to pass the military medical commission. After passing through these procedures, a person liable for military service can be sent to re-equip military units or go home - await a mobilization order.

A mobilization order is a summons that informs a person about the date and place, when and where he must appear to be sent to military service..

After receiving the summons, men liable for military service must report to the territorial recruitment and social support center. If a person did not come to the TCC, then he can receive a punishment:.

fine (the amount varies from 1700 to 3400 UAH). The punishment is assigned to conscripts invited for the first time to clarify information or to undergo a medical examination;

imprisonment for a term of three to five years or probation. Criminal punishment is imposed on conscripts summoned to the TCC to be sent to a military unit.
