Derzhpratsi explained that the procedure for hiring, as well as the list of documents that a candidate for a position must submit, is determined by Article 24 of the Labor Code, which obliges candidates for employment to submit, among other things, a military registration document.

Experts noted that additional requirements are established by the Procedure for organizing and maintaining military records of conscripts, those liable for military service and reservists, approved by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 1487 dated 30. 12. 2022.
