These include people with disabilities who are temporarily unfit for military service for a period of 6-12 months, those who depend on three or more children under the age of 18 (except those who are in arrears with the payment of alimony), those who have a child or children under the age of 18 if the second parent has died, been deprived of parental rights, or is missing or serving a sentence.

The law also provides that female military personnel on maternity leave or on parental leave, as well as wives of serving spouses, are entitled to be discharged from military service due to family reasons.
Additionally, the document introduces basic military training, excludes conscription, and provides an opportunity for voluntary direct recruitment of military personnel.
Furthermore, the law reserves conscripts from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including all civil servants in category "A", and up to 50% in categories "B" and "C".The 100% mobilization reservation applies to employees of the following state authorities: the national police, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, the State Bureau of Investigation, the Prosecutor's Office, and the Bureau of Economic Security. It also applies to employees of other state agencies, such as the State Emergency Service and the courts, as well as employees of enterprises that are critical to meeting the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
