Men will be required to have military registration documents to provide public services, - Malyuska

Minister of Justice Denys Malyuska said that in Ukraine men will increasingly be required to have military registration documents to provide public services.

He says that the law on administrative services even before the war assumed that the state had the legal right to demand this data from men when providing “hundreds and thousands” of different services. And now the Cabinet of Ministers wants to make this requirement mandatory.

“This is a normal, correct, natural process. I cannot say that we have introduced such a mechanism everywhere. But, in my opinion, it will appear more and more often. Increasingly, in order to provide services to those liable for military service, the state will request a military registration document,” said Malyuska.

Malyuska believes that as a result, Ukrainians will “appear on the state’s radar.”

He says that “blocks” will not be introduced on “critically important” services, as well as those related to the children and family of the conscript.

But they will appear for services necessary “for a good life” and “comfort” exclusively for those liable for military service.
