Not just a fine: consequences of ignoring a summons in 2025.

In 2025, men in Ukraine will continue to receive summons, and ignoring them can lead to serious consequences. This includes fines and even imprisonment.

Those liable for military service must be registered, arrive at the TCC on summons, undergo medical examinations, training, and report for duty. This is reported by 24 Channel.

Failure to appear at the TCC can result in severe legal repercussions.

What Happens If You Fail to Appear at the TCC

Ignoring this requirement can result in administrative or criminal liability. Specifically, failure to appear at the summons, damage to military registration documents, or not providing up-to-date information can incur fines:

• for individuals – from 17,000 to 25,500 hryvnias;
• for legal entities – from 34,000 to 59,000 hryvnias.

Criminal responsibility applies to those who have passed a medical commission but fail to show up for a "combat summons." In such cases, a person may face up to 5 years in prison. If there are mitigating circumstances, conditional responsibility with a probation period may be possible.

Additionally, summons are now also being sent via registered mail. Ignoring this can result in a fine of up to 25,000 hryvnias, even if the document was not personally received.

As a reminder, earlier "Telegraph" reported on who among men will receive deferral from mobilization starting January 1. Cabinet Resolution No. 560 outlines the categories of citizens eligible for deferral or exemption from mobilization. Notably, students are included in this list.
