Mobilization in Ukraine: what is the procedure for serving subpoenas by mail

A fake application "Reserve+" has appeared in Ukraine. It is being distributed by Russians, trying to collect personal data of Ukrainians. Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine Kateryna Chernohorenko reported this on Facebook.

Ukrainians are asked to be careful, use only the official website "Reserve+" and not follow links that imitate the name reserveplus.mod.gov.ua and end in .top, .website, .org, etc.

Types of agendas

During martial law, those liable for military service must always carry documents with them. Citizens are called to regional territorial recruitment centers (TRC) for:

• military registration;
• undergoing a medical examination to determine suitability for military service;
• clarification of personal data and data from military registration documents;
• conscription for military service and dispatch to places of service;

Summons to the TRC are carried out through summonses, which can be delivered in person or sent by mail.

Conditions for proper service of a subpoena

A summons is considered to be correctly served if the person liable for military service has signed its receipt, there is a video recording of delivery or familiarization with its contents, or a video recording of a refusal to receive or communicate with a person authorized to serve the summons.

According to the law, a summons can be issued at the place of residence, study or work on the street, stops, checkpoints and in public places.

If a reservist or a person liable for military service has not specified his address within 60 days, a summons is sent to his registered or declared address.

Conditions for proper service of summons by mail

From July 18, summonses can be sent by post. The summons is considered served if:

• The person liable for military service received a postal shipment, which is confirmed by information or documents from the postal operator.
• There is a mark indicating refusal to receive the postal item.
• There is a note indicating the absence of a person at the address of residence specified when clarifying the credentials.

In all these cases, the determining day is the day of receipt or the day of putting the corresponding mark.

Reasons why you may not show up at the TRC

A person liable for military service may not come to the TRC in the following cases:

• natural obstacles;
• illness;
• conducting military operations in the relevant territory, which makes personal arrival impossible;
• death of a close relative or a close relative of the wife.
