As reported, the draft law provides for increased liability for evading mobilization. In particular, it was envisaged that violation of the rules of military registration by conscripts, persons liable for military service, and reservists would result in a fine of UAH 3,400 to 5,100. For a repeated violation within a year, the fine would be from UAH 5100 to 8500.
However, for such a violation committed during the special period, fines were expected to be set at the level of UAH 17 thousand to UAH 25.5 thousand.
It will also provide for penalties for violations of the legislation on defense, mobilization training and mobilization. It is proposed to fine from UAH 5100 to 8500 for such a violation, and from UAH 8500 to 11.9 thousand for a repeated violation.
During the special period, such fines will range from UAH 17 thousand to UAH 25.5 thousand.
It is noted that fines will be imposed within a year from the date of the offense, but no later than three months after the offense is discovered.
In the comparative table before the second reading of the draft law, it is indicated that the word "and the Criminal Code of Ukraine" was proposed to be deleted from the title. The adjustment of the name of the project, as noted, is due to the proposal to exclude the changes to Art. 336 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
