People in pixelated uniforms — employees of the Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers (TRSSCs) — are perceived by many as a threat or danger. And no matter how many video instructions you watch online, they remain representatives of state authority, and the authority of the state legitimizes their actions. If you want to be on equal footing, you need a reliable defender — namely, legal support at the TRSSC: to prepare the necessary documents; to argue the grounds for deferment, obtain compensation and benefits; to compel the Military Medical Commission (MMC) to accept medical documents and conduct instrumental examinations and tests; to initiate the procedure for obtaining combatant status (UBD). And simply to be there — to protect you from mistakes, traps, and abuse.
The war and mobilization have involved a significant portion of citizens in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations, while also increasing the need for legal support on military matters. Moreover, lawyers are increasingly sending inquiries addressed to military units.
A lawyer’s request is, first and foremost, an effective tool that allows an attorney to gather evidence and prepare for the next steps. Its advantage lies in its simplicity: an experienced attorney needs no more than an hour to prepare and send the request. However, processing such a request, preparing a response, and sending it may take significantly more time and require the involvement of various departments within a military unit — such as personnel, administrative, financial, and legal departments.
The main function of every military unit in Ukraine today is to ensure national security and defense, repel and deter armed aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine, and restore state sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Groundless and excessive submission of numerous attorney requests to combat units during martial law creates artificial obstacles to fulfilling this function. When submitting a request, an attorney must act in the interests of the client, while also avoiding conflict between client interests and national security interests.
Attorney requests become a particularly important tool during the procedure of appealing unlawful delivery of a summons. Unfortunately, such cases occur frequently, making it essential to collect all necessary documents and confirm that you have been removed from military registration or have grounds for deferment.
