In addition, according to this document, TCCs are exempted from the task of preparing and conducting territorial defense.
It will be recalled that the Cabinet of Ministers approved the updated Procedure for the reservation of conscripts during martial law. By the corresponding resolution, the Cabinet of Ministers determined the criteria for assigning enterprises to the list critical for the reservation of employees from mobilization.
The summons can be served by authorized officials in any place that is not prohibited by the legislation of Ukraine. It is not necessarily possible to obtain it from a representative of the territorial center of procurement and social support.
