Due to the invasion of Russia, general mobilization was introduced in Ukraine. A person liable for military service may refuse to receive a summons, but in this case a fine is provided. Artem Krikun-Trush, the manager of PwC Legal, gave a detailed explanation of this issue, Hromadske reports..

What is the penalty for refusing to sign the subpoena?.

The specialist noted that representatives of the acquisition center in the presence of witnesses can draw up an act of refusal to receive a summons. In this act, the person is not required to write or sign anything..

Krikun-Trush noted that administrative liability is provided for violation of the rules of military registration - a fine from UAH 850 to 1700 (Article 210 of the Code of Administrative Offenses), and if an act is drawn up, then the head of the recruitment center will further consider the case, who can collect a fine.

A person liable for military service has the right to appeal this decision in a local court - the courts have already canceled fines if they were issued in violation of.

In court, the acquisition center will prove that the person has violated the accounting rules: it is for this (and not for refusing the summons) that a fine is provided. There is no penalty for refusing. It is reported that when serving the summons, the representative of the acquisition center does not yet know whether the person violates the accounting rules or not.

" If you are an internally displaced person from the occupied territories, you must be registered with the military at your new place of residence, regardless of whether you have been de-registered at home: this is often simply not possible due to occupation and hostilities. You should also keep your recruiting center informed about changes in life: marital status, work, training, etc.. If you violate these accounting rules, you are subject to administrative liability. But if you are not an IDP, but only passing through a certain settlement, then there are no grounds to hold you accountable for violating the rules of military registration,"

If a person is not an internally displaced person, then it will be difficult for a recruitment center to prove an offense: after all, only the previous center has information about whether a person has been removed from the register, and military registration and enlistment offices do not exchange data.
