Men with limited military fitness must undergo a repeated medical examination by February 5, 2025. They should not wait for a summons from the TCC, as the law places the responsibility for undergoing the Military Medical Commission (VLC) on those liable for military service, unlike those subject to mobilization, whom the military enlistment office is required to send for a medical examination.

This was explained by Fedir Venislavskyi, a member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine's Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence, in a comment to "RBK-Ukraine".
Venislavskyi noted that there are less than three weeks remaining until the deadline set by law for undergoing the repeated medical examination. Failure to comply with this legal requirement will result in a fine for those liable for military service, ranging from 17,000 to 25,500 hryvnias.
"This law has come into effect. Nine months have passed. Naturally, this raises questions for those who have not complied with the legal requirement. No separate regulation at the level of the Cabinet is necessary. There is no conflict here," he stated.
The MP emphasized that those with limited military fitness have no legal grounds for appeal or excuses, as there was ample time over the past nine months to undergo the VLC.
"Citizens had the time to fulfill the legal requirement. Those who did not comply will be held accountable for failing to adhere to various provisions of the legislation," Venislavskyi stressed.
According to him, the Cabinet's resolution regarding summonses regulates the implementation of mobilization measures. This refers to cases where the TCC sends a summons for the VLC to those liable for military service who are subject to conscription during mobilization.
"We are talking about a different category of individuals who do not need to be summoned because they are not being mobilized. They were required to comply with the law and attend the VLC," the MP explained.
It is worth noting that, according to Doctor of Law Natalia Opolska, current legislation does not stipulate that those liable for military service must take the initiative to undergo a medical examination; rather, it states that it is the duty of the TCC and the State Prosecutor's Office to send individuals for the VLC. Therefore, men with limited military fitness who did not receive a summons for the repeated VLC cannot be held administratively liable for not undergoing the repeated medical examination.
