A 58-year-old resident of Kramatorsk was convicted of refusing to register for military service.
The prosecutor's office of Kramatorsk, which became the administrative center of the Kyiv-controlled part of the Donetsk region, informs, that thanks to her “reasonable position,” the court convicted a man who “deliberately violated the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On Military Duty and Military Service.”
In February 2017, the Kramatorsk military registration and enlistment office informed the mentioned local resident about “the need to register with the military as a person with the rank of junior officer, who has not reached the age limit for being in the reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and is liable for military service.”
However, according to the prosecution, the man did not appear at the military registration and enlistment office “and twice more categorically refused to receive a signed message warning of criminal liability.”
The Ukrainian court found the accused guilty of committing a crime under Art. 337 (evasion of a person liable for military service from military registration after a warning given by the relevant military commissariat) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The court sentence was 2 years of correctional labor with deduction of 15 percent of the convict’s earnings to the state.
