President Volodymyr Zelensky canceled the autumn conscription of Ukrainian citizens for urgent military service and postponed demobilization.

The President amended Decree No. 687/2021 "On the transfer to the reserve of servicemen for fixed-term military service, the timing of regular conscriptions and regular conscriptions of citizens of Ukraine for military service in 2022."

In particular, the head of state decided to exclude the provisions that provided for the regular conscription of Ukrainian citizens for fixed-term military service and to call up male citizens of Ukraine for fixed-term military service.

Military servicemen who have a master's degree of higher education and have served the established terms of military service may be transferred to the reserve from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Special Transport Service, and other military formations formed in accordance with the laws of Ukraine "not earlier than the announcement of demobilization in the prescribed manner ".

War in Ukraine: mobilization and military service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Recall that in April Zelensky canceled the spring conscription for military service and postponed the spring demobilization.

Then the General Staff noted that during the general mobilization, the recruitment of vacant positions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations is carried out at the expense of those liable for military service and reservists.

At the end of September 2022, adviser to the head of the President's Office Mykhailo Podolyak noted that Ukraine does not plan to announce additional mobilization against the backdrop of fake "referendums" in the temporarily occupied territories.

Recall that the martial law in Ukraine and the terms of mobilization were extended almost until winter - until November 21, 2022.
