An illegal deferment can be revoked if it turns out the person liable for military service had no right to be exempted from mobilization. But the police cannot immediately hold the citizen accountable for violating military registration rules.
After verification, illegal deferments will be revoked
Loss of a deferment is possible if a check reveals the person obtained it illegally. However, this does not mean the person liable for military service can be mobilized immediately afterward. Temporary acting head of the National Police Maksym Tsutskiridze said this in an interview with Censor.net.
If there is enough evidence to consider that the deferment was obtained without legal grounds, it can be annulled. But for the person this only means loss of status. Such a conscript can be mobilized on general grounds. Territorial centers will not be specifically "searching for" a citizen who has just lost a deferment.
Likewise, a person cannot be immediately prosecuted. Tsutskiridze noted that in such cases fault will not lie solely with the person liable for service, but also with those who organized the scheme for illegal exemption from mobilization.

To prove guilt, law enforcement must first determine how the person obtained the deferment, what documents they submitted for it, and who helped them. Only after that can a decision be made about administrative or criminal liability.
The investigation must establish the role of each person: both the one who used the scheme and those who provided it for money,
he said, the temporary head of the National Police.
Recall that Maksym Tsutskiridze also said that suspicions over possible abuses during mobilization have been brought against 76 heads of military recruitment centers at various levels. Police are aware of nearly 2,5 thousand cases of illegal deferments. More than 83,5 thousand military-medical commission decrees have also been seized, of which 6,5 thousand decisions have already been revoked.
At the same time, since the beginning of 2026 year recruitment centers have handed over to the police more than 1,5 million referrals concerning persons liable for military service who are being sought for possible evasion of mobilization. Overall, during martial law the police have opened more than 20 thousand criminal proceedings for cases of evasion. Such cases exist in practically all regions.
