Military Personnel Can Retire by Age During Wartime: Who Is Eligible.

Ukrainian military personnel are in a complicated situation due to Russian aggression, where they cannot legally demobilize and separate from service. However, there is an opportunity for certain categories of military personnel to exercise the right to retire by age, as informed by the public organization 'Legal Hundred'.

According to legislative norms, there is a maximum age for different ranks of military personnel:

• For private, sergeant, senior sergeant, junior officer ranks - 60 years;
• For senior officer ranks - 65 years.

To retire from service on the basis of age, necessary documents are required, such as a report, calculation of years of service, and a conclusion from the military medical commission.

Commanders are obliged to ensure the necessary conditions for military personnel to retire, including the calculation of service, undergoing a medical commission, and submitting the corresponding documentation within the specified deadlines.

Experts note that military personnel can remain in service after reaching the maximum age if they desire and have the grounds.

Commanders are obliged to create the necessary conditions for military personnel to undergo the retirement procedures by age. Additionally, military personnel can choose to remain in service after the maximum age based on their own desire and under certain conditions.
