Ukraine Clarifies Mobilization Deferment for Foreign Students

Foreign students in Ukraine are facing uncertainty regarding mobilization. A recent Cabinet of Ministers resolution from May 16, 2024, introduced changes to the deferment process. Two legal experts discussed the new requirements. "The key is obtaining a certificate from your university," one expert explained. This certificate confirms the student's enrollment status and is crucial for the deferment application. The resolution clarifies that deferment applies to students in both Ukrainian and foreign universities. This update provides much-needed clarity for foreign students navigating the complexities of the Ukrainian legal system during wartime. The government's efforts to provide clear guidelines are a positive step in ensuring fair treatment for all students.
