Temporary restriction of driving privileges for evading mobilization is possible only by court order. This is reported by Komersant ukrainskyi with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Defense.
The ministry emphasized that the information spread in some media about the automatic deprivation of driving privileges for failure to appear under a summons is not true.
They explained that in practice, a driver cannot be automatically deprived of his or her license for failure to appear under subpoena. However, the Ministry of Defense noted that the law provides for a temporary restriction of the right to drive vehicles of those citizens who evade military duty by court order.
“To do this, the territorial recruitment center must file a lawsuit with the court if a person ignores the requirements for performing military duty. The procedure for filing a lawsuit must include a detailed description of the requirements to be met and documentary evidence of the citizen’s evasion of duty,” the agency explains.
They also clarify that the decision to temporarily restrict a driver’s license is made only after the case has been heard in court and upon confirmation of a violation of the requirements for performing military duty.
As a reminder, more than 21,000 proceedings for violations of military registration were recorded in Ukraine in the first 10 months of 2024. This is already twice as many as in the whole of 2023.
As part of the enforcement of a transaction, the executive service imposes an arrest – a resolution is adopted to seize the debtor’s property (funds) or to inventory and seize it.
