Displaced individuals rallying within Ukraine's borders

Hey there! Let's talk about some changes in Ukraine's military conscription policies.
Starting June 1, Ukraine has broadened its draft eligibility, affecting internally displaced persons (IDPs). But before we dive in, it's important to know who these IDPs are, right? They are Ukrainian citizens, foreigners, or stateless individuals residing legally in the country, forced to leave their homes due to military actions or extraordinary situations.
According to the Ukrainian publication New Voice, these IDPs need to notify the relevant social protection department within 10 days of any change in their residence. If they return to their original homes, they must notify the same organ no later than three days in advance. If a person arrives from a territory under Russian control, they can register as an IDP and potentially undergo military conscription.
The revised mobilization order, as reported by Rbc.group, applies to a wide range of individuals:
- Reservists and those liable for military service who are fit for service and do not have deferment rights.
- Individuals with minor or certain serious or very serious criminal convictions, with some exceptions.
- Men aged 18 to 60 with military experience, unless excluded due to health reasons.
- Men aged 25 to 60 who are fit or partially fit for service without military experience.
- Men aged 18 to 60 previously removed from the register but reclassified as fit or partially fit.
Elena Shulyak, head of the Verkhovina Rada's committee on state power and local self-government, reported in March that nearly 5 million IDPs had been registered in Ukraine at that time. While there's no specific updated information on the conscription rules for IDPs starting from June 1, it's worth noting that Ukrainian men between ages 18 and 60 are generally not allowed to leave the country due to the ongoing conflict, although this rule isn't specific to IDPs.
In Russian-occupied territories, Ukrainians have been forced into conscription into the Russian military, violating international law. It is crucial to stay informed about any updates to military conscription rules in Ukraine, especially for IDPs, to ensure compliance with their rights.
- War-and-conflicts in Ukraine have led to the displacement of millions, and recent changes in military conscription policies now affect internally displaced persons (IDPs).
- Amidst political turmoil and general news in Ukraine, it's important to stay updated on the revised conscription rules, particularly for IDPs, as non-compliance could potentially lead to military service or violations of human rights.
