Mobilization in Ukraine: the lawyer told what subpoena is considered served

Mobilization of the population continues in Ukraine due to the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. Therefore, Ukrainians often have various questions about subpoenas.

In a comment to UNIAN, lawyer and activist Dmytro Franchuk explained which subpoena is considered served.

According to him, if the summons to clarify the data was left in the mailbox, handed over to relatives or neighbors, it is not considered served in accordance with the norms of the legislation of Ukraine. He emphasized that the employer must ensure that the summons is delivered personally to the conscript.

The lawyer emphasized that the summons, which was sent by mail, will be considered served if the following conditions are met:

• The summons must be sent by registered mail with acknowledgment of service. The conscript must personally sign the receipt of the letter.
• Availability of notice of delivery. At the post office, there is a note about delivery to the addressee or the reason for non-delivery is written.

Franchuk emphasized that the recipient has a certain deadline to pick up the letter at the post office. However, even if he has not done so, the letter will be considered delivered.
