13 On October, the government adopted a resolution on changes to the rules for registering mobilization of employees. At the same time, the final decision on changing the quotas for mobilization at critically important enterprises is to be made within five days.
As reported by Dilo, this was announced by Member of Parliament Yaroslav Zheliynyak.
He said that the government approved at its meeting a resolution "On some issues of organizing mobilization of mobilized workers during the period of mobilization and wartime. "
"The document was adopted with one day of refining, and in the part of the mobilization percentage — with five days," the MP noted.
How the mobilization criteria will change
According to Zheliynyak, the project currently provides for reducing quotas for a number of critical sectors.
Thus, in the defense-industrial complex and energy, the mobilization limit may decrease from 100% to 85%. In the district of heat supply, water utilities, and management of household waste — from 75% to 60%. For the rest of critically important enterprises, the limit remains at 50%.
If previously the status of a critically important enterprise and the decisions were made by the Ministry of Defense and an Interagency Working Group, under the new project a Coordinating Center at the Cabinet of Ministers is created.
It will consist of 17 people, chaired jointly by the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Defense, with the participation of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate, the Foreign Intelligence Service, the National Police and other state bodies. Without the Center's recommendation, a enterprise cannot obtain either the status or a quota above 50%. The Center will even have the authority to recommend canceling such status.
Also by 20 October, all ministries and regional administrations are obliged to review sectoral criteria of “criticality” and coordinate them with the Coordinating Center. The decision to grant a quota above 50% will be valid until 1 year, but if mobilization is not processed through “Diy” within 5 business days, it loses its validity.
The project has not yet determined the fate of already granted mobilizations that exceed the new limits.
"What should business do right now? Gather metrics that are subject to verification: defense contracts, market share, taxes, currency earnings, wage levels, absence of debt. By 20 October, find out from your ministry or regional administration how sectoral criteria are being rewritten, and submit proposals," the MP noted.
At the same time, Zheliynyak noted that it was possible to remove the rule that employees with deferrals for other reasons would no longer be counted in the total base for calculating the mobilization volume.
"We kept that employees with deferrals (students, caregivers, parents of three children) can still be counted in it. That is, as it is now," the MP added.
Previously the European Business Association (EBA) expressed concern about possible changes to the mobilization of workers and urged the government to ensure open dialogue with the business community before making any decisions.
Note, as of September 2026 year, about 1,4 million people have been mobilized from mobilization, and the largest number of mobilizations falls on the processing industry, transport and logistics, trade, energy, and agriculture.
Defense enterprises may have their mobilization quota shortened to 85%
The Ministry of Economy and Environment, according to representatives of the defense industry, proposes reducing the maximum mobilization quota for workers of critically important enterprises in the defense-industrial complex from 100% to 85%. Manufacturers opposed the changes, warning about the risk of losing scarce specialists and stopping some productions.
Executive Director of the Ukrainian Arms Council Ihor Fedirko said that the corresponding draft resolution has already been sent to the Ministry of Defense for approval.
Industry representatives are also outraged that possible changes were not discussed with manufacturers in advance.
Recall that in September the Ministry of Defense confirmed the status of critically important 86% of ODC enterprises, which passed a re-check and retained the right to mobilize workers.
