The Ministry of Defense has clarified how deferments will be calculated following a motivational contract
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has explained the procedure for calculating the deferment that service members will be eligible to receive upon completion of their incentive contract.
Its duration will depend on the total length of service, the type of contract signed, and the time spent performing combat missions.
The ministry provided the following example: if a soldier has been serving since 2022, signs a 10-month infantry-assault contract in 2026 and spends five months performing combat missions, upon completion of that contract, he will be entitled to a deferment lasting 3 years and 9 months.
According to the Ministry of Defense, the deferment consists of a six-month base period following the end of the contract, six months for each year of service from 2022 to 2026, and three months for each month spent performing combat missions.
The ministry also reported that additional examples of deferment calculations are available on a special information page. Consultations regarding the signing of new incentive contracts can be obtained by calling the hotline at 1519.
