Lawyer, lawyer-volunteer of the ULA Hotline on issues related to military aggression, its consequences and martial law Semyon Yatsenko in an exclusive commentary to ZN. UA told what to do if the conclusion of the VVK does not correspond to the state of health and whether it can be appealed.

“The Military Medical Commission (VVK) is a special collective body vested with managerial powers that conducts an examination on the suitability of a person for military service.. Based on the results of this examination, it can be established that a person is fit, unfit, or limited fit for military service in peacetime or wartime, respectively.. It is important to understand that this commission establishes not only a medical diagnosis (sick or healthy), but also suitability for military service..

The procedure for conducting a military medical examination is determined by the Order of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine dated 14. 08. 2008 No. 402 “On approval of the Regulations on military medical examination in the Armed Forces of Ukraine”, and must comply with it (there are other documents for other armed formations, but the algorithm is the same).

Given the different circumstances, errors may be made by the military medical commission. This may be due not only to deliberate violations, but also to inaccurate medical data, a large influx of people undergoing this examination. That is why it is possible to check the conclusion of the military medical commission.

According to paragraph 2.

10 of section 1 of the said Regulations, the decision of the IHC of the regions can be appealed to the Central IHC or in the course of administrative proceedings. It should be borne in mind that the court does not have medical knowledge to assess the degree of suitability of a person for military service, therefore the decision of the IHC should be appealed to the Central IHC. The court can only verify compliance with the procedure for conducting a military medical examination..

Recall whether Ukrainians with a residence permit in other countries need to be registered with the military.
