FAQPage Schema

How do I get relief from criminal liability for first-time desertion under Ukrainian law?▼

Relief for first-time desertion under Article 401(5) requires voluntary reporting to an investigator, prosecutor, court, or unit commander, obtaining written commander consent, and returning within 72 hours of proceedings closure. This checklist guides the full motion process with attorney involvement.

What documents are needed to close criminal proceedings for self-termination of military service?▼

Closing criminal proceedings for self-termination of military service requires a procedural package: a report to the commander, written commander consent, a motion to close the case filed by the investigator, and documented attorney involvement to satisfy Article 401(5) conditions.

Am I eligible for SZCh relief if I voluntarily return to my military unit?▼

Eligibility for SZCh relief depends on being a first-time offender who voluntarily reports to an investigator, prosecutor, court, or unit commander. You must secure written consent from the commander and ensure timely return within 72 hours after closure of the proceedings.

What is the procedural workflow to apply Law No. 3902-IX for desertion case closure?▼

The procedural workflow under Law No. 3902-IX involves assessing first-time eligibility, assembling the document package, submitting a motion to close the proceedings, and obtaining the final court decision and orders. The algorithm includes mandatory attorney involvement throughout the process.

What happens if I do not return to my unit within 72 hours after proceedings close?▼

Failing to return within 72 hours after closure of proceedings violates the conditions for relief under Article 401(5) of the Ukrainian Criminal Code. Timely return is a strict legal requirement to maintain eligibility and successfully close the desertion case.
