Strategic Industries Ministry expands list of criteria for booking employees of defense industry

The Ministry of Strategic Industries has expanded the list of criteria for booking employees of the defense industry.

This is stated in the message of the Ministry of Strategic Industries, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

Compliance with these criteria becomes the basis for further booking of persons liable for military service for the period of mobilization and for wartime. The changes apply to those criteria that give grounds for booking from 50% of employees, regardless of the military accounting specialty.

"The changes actually expand the list of criteria. The first combines those two that were in place before this time, while adding extra-budgetary sources of funding. And the second makes it possible to get a basis for booking for companies that are at the stage of developing their product in the field of defense industry," the message says.

be an executor or co-executor of a state contract with a state customer in the field of defense regarding the production of goods, performance of works and provision of services of defense or an agreement on the production of defense goods at the expense of other extra-budgetary sources;

receive financial government support in the form of grants in accordance with the Procedure for providing financial support for the development of innovations and technologies for defense needs (Brave1), approved by Cabinet of Ministers Decree No. 262 of March 8, 2024.

Regardless of the source of financing, more than 50% of the total production of the enterprise should be defense goods, works and services (for the last reporting period).

According to the report, the corresponding order came into force on May 17.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on May 16, the first Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko said that she was canceling the order to book some technology companies due to public outcry, a decision on each company will be made separately after analyzing the situation.

In April, the Verkhovna Rada obliged the Cabinet to revise the booking procedure.
