Does a 'second passport' exempt from mobilization — the lawyer answered.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, signed a law allowing multiple citizenships, which raised questions regarding the possible mobilization of military conscripts with several passports.

Explanation regarding the mobilization of holders of several citizenships

Lawyer Marina Ivina explained that individuals with Ukrainian citizenship and that of another state can be mobilized under general conditions. Having a foreign passport does not exempt these individuals from military service obligations and mobilization.

Thus, mobilization of individuals with dual citizenship is legal. An individual can be mobilized if there is no deferment or if they are fit for service.

Individuals with dual citizenship as citizens of Ukraine can be mobilized, so it is important to be prepared for this. Lawyers also explained how conscripted men can travel abroad on leave and why mobile points at the TCC are important.

Summary

The law on multiple citizenship has sparked discussions regarding the mobilization of military conscripts with several passports, but according to legislation, such mobilization is legal for individuals with Ukrainian citizenship and that of another state. It is important for these individuals to be ready for possible military service if needed.
