The deferment depends not only on the type of contract, but also on the serviceman\u2019s combat experience and length of service. Those who have defended the country for longer are granted a longer period of recuperation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<div class=\"summary-title\">Briefly about the main points<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>A grace period of at least six months is guaranteed following the contract.<\/li>\n<li>The length of the deferment depends on the type of contract, combat experience and years of service.<\/li>\n<li>Servicemen with longer service records are granted additional months of deferment.<\/li>\n<li>The phased retirement from service will begin with the most experienced military personnel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The principles of the new contract system in the Armed Forces of Ukraine<\/h2>\n<p>The main principle of the new <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/politics\/zsu-novi-kontrakty-dlia-viiskovykh-syrskyi\/\">contract system<\/a> \u2014 to take into account the soldier\u2019s service record. Upon completion of their contract, every serviceman is guaranteed a deferment of at least six months. This is calculated based on the type of contract, combat experience and total length of service.<\/p>\n<p>The methods for calculating deferrals vary depending on the type of contract. For example, a civilian contractor with a 14-month infantry assault contract who has spent four months in combat receives a 12-month deferral plus a guaranteed six months \u2014 a total of one and a half years.<\/p>\n<h2>Taking into account length of service and combat experience<\/h2>\n<p>If a serving military personnel who has been in service since 2021 signs a 10-month contract, additional months are added to the standard six-month deferral for each year of service. For each year from 2022 onwards, six months are added, and for years prior to 2022, one month is added.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, a further two years and one month are added to the 18-month deferral, meaning that the total deferral period following the end of the contract can be as long as three years and seven months.<\/p>\n<h2>The gradual phasing out of the most experienced military personnel<\/h2>\n<p>Servicemen who have served the longest in the Defence Forces and have the most combat experience will be given the opportunity to gradually <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/suspilstvo\/reforma-armii-vyplaty-pikhotincjam\/\">dismissal from service<\/a> by the end of the year. This is part of the effort to make the military service system more predictable and fair.<\/p>\n<p>Pros. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/zedigital\/6823\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official information<\/a> from the Minister of Defence <strong>Fedorova<\/strong>, The aim of the new system is to ensure that long-serving military personnel have sufficient time to recover after their service and to recognise their contribution to the defence of the country.<\/p>\n<h2>Where can I find out more about the new contract system?<\/h2>\n<p>Full details of the new contracts and the mechanisms for calculating deferrals are available on the Defence Forces\u2019 contract system website.
