It was not possible to cancel mobilization through the court: the man claimed a month in the CCC and improper VLK

In Ukraine, a conscript tried to get his mobilization order overturned in court. The man claimed that he was forcibly taken to the territorial recruitment and social support center, held there for over a month, and that he allegedly did not undergo a proper medical examination before being drafted. However, the court refused to grant the claim.

The man claimed violations during mobilization

According to the case materials, the man was taken to the CCC on September 10, 2025. The plaintiff claimed that this was done by unknown persons who, in his opinion, did not have the authority to administratively detain him.

He also claimed that he was in the CCC premises for over a month, that he was not given a referral to undergo a military medical commission, and that a full medical examination was allegedly not conducted.

The man’s mobilization order was issued on October 2, 2025. After that, he was sent to a military unit.

Criminal proceedings were opened due to the man’s statements

The conscript’s lawyer also appealed regarding the possible illegal deprivation of his liberty. The court ordered that the relevant information be entered into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations.

However, during the consideration of the administrative case, the court emphasized: the very fact of entering information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations and the initiation of a pre-trial investigation does not yet prove the illegality of the actions of the CCC employees or the mobilization order.

The case materials also did not contain a conviction against the CCC officials in the circumstances of the man’s conscription.

What the court found out about the VLK

According to the CCC, on September 10, 2025, the man was taken in by police officers as a violator of military registration rules.

The next day, September 11, he passed a military medical commission and was found fit for military service. On October 2, the man was called up for mobilization and sent to a military unit.

At the same time, the CCC did not file a separate response to the lawsuit, so the court evaluated the documents and other evidence that were available in the case materials.

Why the court did not cancel the mobilization

The key question in the case was whether it is possible to cancel the mobilization order after it has already been executed.

The court proceeded from the fact that the conscription order is an individual legal act. After its implementation – the conscription of a person and enrollment in a military unit – such an act exhausts its effect.

Accordingly, even the subsequent cancellation of the order in itself would not mean the automatic dismissal of the serviceman.

A similar legal approach, as indicated in the material, was expressed by the Cassation Administrative Court within the Supreme Court in its resolution of February 5, 2025 in case No. 160/2592/23.

How the case ended

The Cherkasy District Administrative Court ultimately denied the man’s claim and did not cancel the order on his mobilization.

The court also indicated that the legislation does not provide for the recognition of mobilization as illegal as a separate ground for dismissal from military service.

At the same time, the court’s decision can be appealed.
