What the 'Reserve+' App's New Military Code 999 Means for Non-Veterans.

Understanding Military Registration Specialty 999

According to Novyny.live: A new military registration specialty, designated as code 999, is being introduced in the 'Reserve+' application for individuals liable for military service. This code is specifically assigned to those who have not completed mandatory military service or attended training sessions. As Yuriy Aivazian clarified,

"VOS-999 is a military registration specialty assigned to conscripts who have not served in the military or undergone training."

It is crucial to note that receiving this designation does not constitute grounds for imposing fines or other restrictions. According to Yuriy Aivazian,

"such a military registration specialty is not a basis for a fine or other restrictions."

Legal Protections for Conscripts

Article 39 of Ukraine's Law 'On Military Duty and Military Service' (No.2232-XII, dated March 25, 1992) stipulates that conscripts without military service cannot be held liable. Viacheslav Kyryda further emphasized:

"If you do not have a military service record but have a legal deferment—authorities do not have the right to detain you, deliver you to a recruitment center, or mobilize you."

Therefore, this new feature in the 'Reserve+' app could significantly impact conscripts who have not served, providing them with legal safeguards and helping them avoid complications associated with holding military registration specialty number 999.

The introduction of specialty 999 in 'Reserve+' may represent an important step in protecting the rights of conscripts who, for various reasons, have not completed service. This innovation could reduce uncertainty and fear among these individuals by granting them an official status that shields them from potential pursuit by military authorities.
