In Ukraine, people with health problems also receive summonses, and some of them are taken to the front lines. Lawyer Andriy Novak on the air of “Snidanku z 1 + 1” explained who is not subject to conscription and what “limited fit for military service” means.
He stressed that every person liable for military service must pass a military medical commission (VVK) before joining the army. There they determine his degree of suitability for military service. There is a corresponding order with a huge list of diseases and their gradation, which determine the degree of suitability.
