Court cancels mobilization of reserved Ukrposhta employee

The Zaporizhzhia District Administrative Court declared illegal the mobilization of a Ukrposhta employee who had a valid reservation at the time of conscription. The court revoked the enlistment order from the TCC, the military unit's order to add him to the personnel, and ordered his release from military service.

This is stated in the court's decision.

The court established that the man began working at one of the branches of JSC "Ukrposhta" on June 9, 2026. The employer confirmed that he was reserved from mobilization until December 30, 2026. The deferment information was also displayed in the electronic military record document in the "Reserve+" application.

Despite this, on June 30 the TCC issued an order to conscript the man for military service during mobilization and sent him to a military unit. The next day he was added to the personnel.

The TCC explained that on June 29 the man arrived to update his military registration data accompanied by police. During the check, the center's representatives saw the valid reservation information in the registry.

At the same time, the TCC claimed that the employee allegedly wanted to waive his reservation and join the Armed Forces, citing a corresponding application dated June 29. The man denied that he voluntarily waived his deferment.

Ukrposhta, which participated in the case as a third party on the employee's side, confirmed the authenticity of his employment and reservation documents. The company also reported that on July 1 it requested to verify the grounds for the employee's detention and prevent his mobilization.

One of the key pieces of evidence for the court was the data from "Reserve+". The court noted that at the time the conscription order was issued, the TCC was or should have been aware of the man's right to deferment.

The decision states that the Ukrposhta employee was not subject to mobilization at least until the end of his reservation period - December 30, 2026. Furthermore, the TCC had to prove the lawfulness of its decision, but, according to the court, this was not done.

The court also separately emphasized that simply revoking the conscription order is insufficient to fully restore the plaintiff's rights, since he would continue to remain a serviceman. Therefore, the commander of the military unit was ordered to release the man from service and exclude him from the personnel lists.

In addition, the court ordered the TCC to reimburse the plaintiff 1,064.96 UAH in court fees from its budget allocations. The decision may be appealed.
