The law clearly states that if a citizen has more than one car, then they may be subject to mobilization. However, there is no direct ban on confiscating cars from deputies.
The new law on mobilization provides for high-profile norms concerning not only the mobilization of those liable for military service, but also the seizure of cars for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including those that belong to people’s deputies. TSN writes about this.
Thus, in accordance with the new law, every owner of two or more cars must be prepared for the possible transfer of one of them to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Although the law does not directly prohibit the seizure of cars from persons in government structures, the regulations governing the status of deputies also do not contain prohibitions on the mobilization of their vehicles. This opinion was expressed by lawyer Tatyana Knysh.
She explained that the rules on the mobilization of transport that apply to citizens also apply to people’s deputies, despite their immunity.

Who can have their cars seized?
According to the law, not all cars can be seized from everyone. This applies not only to government agencies, but also to enterprises that provide transport needs, as well as citizens. However, the Rada assures that 90% of citizens will not be affected by these measures. The main goal is to mobilize specific transport, and not the cars of ordinary citizens.
As for the specific types of vehicles required for the APU, there is no final list yet. The law speaks of “vehicles” without specification. This list is compiled by the armed forces themselves, and then they form mobilization orders in the regions.
It is also important to note that mobilized vehicles cannot be sold, re-registered or taken outside the country or even to another region. They must be returned to their owners within 30 days of discharge.
Let us remind you that on April 11, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law on strengthening mobilization, and on April 16, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky signed it. At the same time, some provisions of the law will come into force in a month.
