The court explained under what circumstances a father with multiple children may be mobilized
The Third Administrative Court of Appeals ruled that the mobilization of a man raising three minor children was lawful. The court concluded that the mere fact of having multiple children does not guarantee an automatic deferment from conscription.
As established by the court, after being mobilized, the man challenged the actions of the Territorial Recruitment Center, claiming that he was entitled to a deferment. However, the case file did not confirm that, prior to conscription, he had personally applied to the Territorial Recruitment Center for a deferment and submitted documents confirming his eligibility.
The court noted that a person subject to military service must independently submit an application for deferment, after which the Territorial Recruitment Center reviews the documents and makes a decision. If this is not done by the time of mobilization, and the person has already become a member of the armed forces, the matter is resolved not by canceling the draft notice, but through the procedure for discharge from service.
The court also emphasized that the Military Registration and Enlistment Office is not obligated to independently determine whether a person is eligible for a deferment if they have not reported this and have not submitted the necessary documents.

As a reminder, an incident occurred in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, involving a 34-year-old man who is a single father raising his 5-year-old daughter. He was taken to the TCC and the SP while his child was at preschool, where she remained temporarily under the supervision of the director.
Later, Lubinets responded to the mobilization of the single father in Kryvyi Rih.
