The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has approved criteria for classifying defense industry, aircraft manufacturing, and space industry enterprises as critically important for the economy. This will allow up to 100% of conscripted employees to be reserved for those who meet certain conditions.
The criteria for determining defense industry enterprises as critically important for the economy have been approved, the Ministry of Defense reported on Tuesday, writes UNN.
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has approved the criteria for determining enterprises, institutions, and organizations in the defense industry, aviation industry, and space activities as having significant importance for the national economy.
As stated, "the defense agency of Ukraine has started official acceptance of documents from enterprises to determine their status via email [email protected]".
Previously, these functions were performed by the Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine.
"The criteria approved by the order of the Ministry of Defense maintain the current approach to determining such enterprises. For business entities that have already received the status of an enterprise of significant importance for the national economy and the validity period of this status has not expired, no additional actions or changes to documents are required," the statement says.
The criteria that enterprises claiming the status of significant importance for the national economy in the defense industry must meet, and accordingly, may be granted the right to reserve up to 100% of military-liable employees, are as follows:

- Performing the functions of an authorized entity for managing state property, which regulates, controls, and coordinates the activities of defense industry enterprises.
Enterprises, institutions, and organizations in the defense industry that do not meet the above criteria may obtain the status of important for the national economy if they meet at least three of the following requirements:
- Execution of state contracts in the field of defense.
- Involvement in the execution of defense orders under contracts, including foreign economic ones.
- Inclusion in the electronic register of participants in the selection and executors of state contracts.
- Participation in the implementation of state target programs in the fields of aircraft construction or space activities.
- Participation in the implementation of defense-industrial complex development programs, introduction of new technologies, expansion of production capacities.
