Military Personnel Must File Declarations by April 1: Who Is Required to Submit Their Data.

Annual Declaration Campaign Underway

According to TSN.ua: The annual declaration campaign for the 2025 reporting year will close on April 1. Under updated regulations, specific groups of military personnel are now required to submit declarations detailing their income and expenditures.

Who Must File a Declaration?

Which service members are obligated to submit a declaration? The list includes:

• Personnel serving in the headquarters of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense;
• Members of military medical commissions (MMCs) and flight medical commissions;
• Service members assigned to territorial recruitment centers (TRCs), except for enlisted personnel in security units;
• Individuals involved in procurement of defense-related goods, works, and services.

However, some categories of military personnel are exempt from this requirement. These include:

• Military officials serving under contract;
• Mobilized personnel, reservists, and conscripted officers;
• Workers in social services, healthcare, education, science, culture, and sports (excluding their directors).

How to Submit a Declaration

What do those required to file need to know? Declarations must be submitted through the website of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP). Filers must possess a qualified electronic signature (QES) to enable electronic document submission.

Therefore, military personnel covered by these rules must ensure their declarations are filed on time by April 1, 2025, to avoid potential legal repercussions.

This declaration drive is a key component of the state's broader push for greater transparency and anti-corruption measures within the defense sector. It helps monitor financial flows and holds service members accountable for their income and spending. Those who fail to submit their declarations on time could face legal consequences, underscoring the importance of adhering to the new requirements. For many soldiers, this process may present a fresh challenge, especially given the ongoing wartime conditions in Ukraine.
