Men of conscription age who received a conclusion of "limited suitability" during the military medical commission (MMC) must undergo a medical examination again. Corresponding changes are provided for by the adopted draft law No. 10313, which defines only two states: "fit" and "unfit" for military service. The repeated medical commission must determine to which category a person should now be assigned, if he was previously considered "limited fit".

The Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine for Social Development Nataliia Kalmykova said on the air of the “Yedyni Novyny” telethon that this "will make life easier for tens of thousands of people"

According to her, military relatives and servicemen themselves have repeatedly appealed to various authorities with a request to settle this issue.
