Ukrainian Lawyer Explains Paths to Military Service Release

Amidst the ongoing conflict, questions surrounding military service and the closure of Special Service Centers (SZCH) remain prevalent in Ukraine. Oleksandr Legal Counsel, a lawyer with a focus on military law, recently addressed these concerns in a short video. He outlined two key paths to release from service: first, by fulfilling the criteria under Article 26 of the law on military obligation and service. Second, he suggests initiating a return to one's previous status before August 30th. However, he cautions that if these methods fail, legal action through the courts remains an option. "Many have questions about release from SZCH," Oleksandr explains in his video. "It's important to understand the available options." His video has garnered significant views, demonstrating the public's interest in this crucial information. The clarity and concise nature of Oleksandr's explanation provide a helpful resource for Ukrainians navigating the complexities of military service.
