16 May 13:52
During the “hour of questions to the government” in the Verkhovna Rada, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said that the Cabinet of Ministers does not plan to make any significant changes to the criteria and approaches to reserving persons liable for military service from mobilization in the near future. This is reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to the broadcast of the Verkhovna Rada session on YouTube, which was hosted by MP Oleksiy Honcharenko.
“Regarding the reservation. We do not plan any significant changes in the criteria and approaches to reservations in the near future. They are very clearly defined, digitalized, extremely transparent, clear and understandable,” he said.
The Prime Minister added that the government, together with the military, clearly monitors how bookings are made: who is booked and in what industries.
He reminded that employees of enterprises, institutions and organizations that are immediately recognized as critical by default are now being booked. For other companies, the criteria for determining the criticality of an enterprise include the level of employees’ salaries. Currently, it is 20 thousand hryvnias.
“These criteria satisfy both the military and the economy. We do not plan any significant revision in the near future,” emphasized Shmyhal.
Current situation with reservations
As reported by , the Cabinet of Ministers recently extended the deadline for booking employees until March 31 for companies that have not yet confirmed their criticality. In addition to the extension, the government allowed companies that have updated their criticality status to book employees until April 1 without a 72-hour processing time.
