The Cabinet of Ministers instructed to review the list of critical enterprises due to the increase in the number of employees reserved from mobilization.
The text of the relevant government decision dated October 8 was published by The Page, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
In particular, the Cabinet of Ministers agreed with the proposal of First Deputy Minister of Defense Ivan Havryliuk to conduct an audit of critical enterprises that received such status from local self-government bodies.
By November 15, regional (military) state administrations, with the participation of territorial recruitment and social support centers, must conduct an audit of decisions on determining enterprises that are critical for the functioning of the economy and ensuring the livelihood of the population, and inform the Ministry of Economy of the results.
The Ministry of Economy must analyze the information provided, taking into account the reservation of those liable for military service, and inform the Cabinet of Ministers by November 20.
The Ministry of Economy, together with the Ministry of Defense, must submit a decision for the government's approval, which, in particular, provides for the procedure for checking the validity of the decisions taken on the designation of enterprises, institutions, and organizations as critically important, as well as for the review of such decisions.
It is also envisaged to cancel the postponement of deferral for those liable for military service in the event of detection of unjustified reservations.

The central and local bodies of the executive power are instructed to refrain from making decisions on the recognition of enterprises as critical until the settlement of the reservation of those liable for military service.
The initiator of the decision, Havryliuk, quoted by Suspilne, explained the decision by the fact that the number of reserved people has increased dramatically in recent months.
