Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi said the
government has finalized changes to the system for exempting
workers from mobilization.
Koretskyi announced the changes in a Telegram post on Oct.
23.
“The main task is to establish fair and clear rules for
everyone working in the rear — and, above all, for those who are fighting,” the
PM said.
Koretskyi described the changes as “difficult but
necessary.”
He said a company’s critical status should be determined
separately from its economic performance. Critical sectors, he said, should
include those that “genuinely support the defense and economy,” including the
defense industry, energy, communications, logistics and utilities.
Nothing will change for companies in those sectors,
Koretskyi said. At the same time, sector-specific and regional criteria for
critical status will be updated and reviewed for abuse.
The maximum level of exemption from mobilization, including
for energy and defense-industry companies, will no longer be 100%.
“Unconditional full exemption is unfair to those who serve
and creates room for abuse,” Koretskyi said.
The government is also preparing a mechanism for 100%
exemptions for companies that meet their mobilization obligations. A company
will be able to exempt all its employees if it regularly and voluntarily sends
some of them into military service, Koretskyi said.
He added that employees who enter military service will
retain their jobs and salaries.
“The ultimate goal is for no one to have to search for
anyone in the streets; there must be a clear system in which everyone knows
their rights and obligations,” Koretskyi said.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
