Citizens who have the right to a deferment from service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine can voluntarily join the army by signing a contract, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said.
The new mobilization law will come into force on May 18, after which Ukraine will undergo a number of changes in the conscription process. The Ministry of Defense told which of the men will be able to receive a deferment from service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Since May, deferment has been provided to the following categories:

- persons with disabilities of groups I, II, III or temporarily unfit for service due to health reasons;
- those who are raising three or more children under 18 years of age and do not have arrears in child support payments;

Let us remind you that lawyer Nikolai Maksimov said that the state can seize a citizen’s home for non-payment of a fine, in particular for violating the legislation on mobilization. It is also possible to block the evader’s bank card.
Earlier it became known that in Ukraine a summons can be served in any place, because specific ones are not defined in the legislation. Such a document must be completely filled out; partial entry of data in advance is permitted.
