In the first six months of 2024, Ukraine’s conscription offices have issued 11,798 fines for violations of military registration rules, it is more compared to 10,337 cases recorded in 2024.
o far, 4,236 of these fines have been settled, but 7,562 are still in the process of being collected.
The increase in fines comes after new changes to the Code of Administrative Offenses came into effect in May 2024. These changes mean stricter penalties for anyone breaking military registration and mobilization rules.
If conscripts fail to register with a conscription office, they face fines ranging from 3,400 to 25,500 hryvnas.
First time violations will cost you 3400-5100 hryvnas, 5100-8500 hryvnas’ fine is for repeated violations while martial law will make you pay 17000-25500 hryvnas.
If you’re on the list of violators, you’re added to the Unified Register of Debtors. The enforcement service can then seize your funds and property to ensure you pay up. Administrative penalties can be applied within three months from the date the violation is detected but no later than one year from when the offense occurred.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine.

It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.

Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
