Therefore, another medical commission must determine which category a person belongs to  if he or she was previously considered “partially fit”.

Background: 

• On 22 March, Deputy Defence Minister Nataliia Kalmykova said that servicemen who were declared partially fit for service would have to undergo another medical examination, as the Verkhovna Rada had cancelled this concept.
• Prior to this, the Verkhovna Rada adopted draft law No.10313 On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on Ensuring the Rights of Military and Police Officers to Social Protection.
