Direct quote: "In the near future, a bill will be registered in the defense committee of the Verkhovna Rada regarding changes to the passage of the Military Medical Commission (VVC) for individuals deemed fit with restrictions."
This concerns two important points:
Firstly, to extend the deadline for mandatory passage of the VVC by an additional four months, meaning the final deadline will be moved to early June 2025.
Secondly, the obligation to undergo the VVC does not apply to individuals deemed fit with restrictions who are under 25 years old."

Details: The Deputy of Yermak requested the members of parliament to support this bill.
Background:
- Deputy Head of the President's Office Iryna Vereshchuk stated that the Rada is working on extending the deadline for re-examination for those with limited fitness, which was supposed to end on February 4. According to her, over 1 million people have not yet undergone the necessary medical examinations. This is partly because they have not received summons for the VVC or cannot obtain them at the TCK (due to long queues). Therefore, the authorities decided to extend the deadline and refrain from applying fines for now.
- Vereshchuk mentioned that the OP will propose to extend the deadlines for passing the VVC for those deemed fit with restrictions by at least 3 months, and the government must urgently amend resolution 560 to allow electronic referrals to the VVC.
- The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has started beta testing a new service - electronic referrals to the VVC - in the "Reserve+" application.
- In April 2024, the president signed law No. 3621-IX "On ensuring the rights of military personnel and police for social protection," which provides for the cancellation of the "limited fitness" status for conscripts. The law came into effect on May 4, 2024. After this, within nine months (until February 4, 2025), those deemed fit with restrictions were required to re-pass the military medical commission (VVC). Based on its results, medical professionals were to determine to which group a conscript would belong.
