Due to the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, general mobilization and martial law continue. During mobilization, men liable for military service from 18 to 60 years old who receive subpoenas are subject to conscription. Oleg Leontiev, a lawyer in the field of military law, told the Focus publication whether a convict with a suspended sentence can be re-issued a summons and mobilized.

He noted that according to the law on military duty and military service, persons found guilty and convicted by the courts for grave and especially grave crimes are not subject to conscription and are removed from the military register..

“The article on evasion from military service for mobilization is not a serious and especially serious crime, therefore, a conviction under this article does not entail any legal consequences for deregistration,” the expert explained..

So, a suspended sentence will not help to avoid being called up for service.. At the same time, after the second refusal to mobilize with a suspended sentence, a real one comes - imprisonment from 3 to 5 years.

According to Leontiev, a convict with a suspended sentence is obliged to report monthly to the bodies of the penitentiary system..

If he was called up for service, he is obliged to report this - in this case, he will be celebrated less often, for example, once every two to three months. Violation of these conditions entails a review of the case from a suspended sentence to a real one.. Also, persons with a suspended sentence are prohibited from traveling abroad - violation of this rule entails a prison term..
