❗️They want to give a one-year deferment after a child’s birth not to everyone: a civilian father will be able to avoid going to the army, while a serviceman will remain on duty, — SYG
📍The right will arise only after the child is born. A wife’s pregnancy or the expected delivery will not grant a deferment.
📍The deferment will apply until the child turns 1 year.
📍But the provision applies only to those who have not yet been mobilized. If a man is already serving and a child is born to him, he will not receive the one-year deferment.
📍The reason is simple: the bill changes the rules for deferment from conscription, not the grounds for release from service.
📍For servicemen there remains leave for family circumstances — in specified cases up to 10 days, which is not comparable to a one-year deferment.
📍Thus, two families with newborns may find themselves in different situations: the one whose father is not yet serving will get a year, while the one whose father is already in the army will not.
📍Separately, current legislation already provides a deferment to parents who support three or more children until 18 years.
