The government will probably not suspend the conscription of those liable for military service through the Diya application for now, although previously this particular scenario was actively discussed during the preparation of the reform. The new Cabinet of Ministers decided to postpone this issue, and all previous plans to suspend the online service have now lost relevance.
This was reported to the media by an informed source in the government.. According to him, the decision to refuse immediate changes was made for several reasons..
" At least now they have given instructions to postpone this issue,” the media interlocutor said.
He explained that when preparing the previous decision, all risks were not fully taken into account, so the new government needs additional time to work out the mechanism. It should also be taken into account that the previous plan of changes was prepared by the previous Cabinet of Ministers.
The current leadership of the Ministry of Economy, which is responsible for reservation issues, does not want to start work with a “decision that will cause a public outcry,” the source believes. According to him, all the changes that have been recently reported by the media will not be considered yet..
Earlier, a number of media reported that the Ministry of Economy was discussing with business a large-scale update of the reservation system. In particular, it was proposed to create a Coordination Center for reservation issues with the participation of the Ministry of Economy, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine and relevant ministries. It would be he who would have to inspect enterprises before assigning or confirming the status of critical.
The possibility of temporarily suspending bookings through the Diya application was also discussed in order to transfer checks to a new mechanism. The coordination center was supposed to check companies for:.
After that, he would give recommendations, and the final decision would remain with the relevant ministry or regional military administration. At the same time, the inspection was planned to be carried out not only for new applicants, but also for enterprises that already have the status of critically important.
Business representatives warned that the suspension of bookings through the Diya app could create serious problems for businesses. In particular, if workers' deferment period expired during such a pause, they could be subject to mobilization or lose the opportunity to re-book. In addition, business associations drew attention to the risk of non-transparent decisions due to the introduction of an additional approval stage and noted that the new mechanism was not actually discussed with them.
