Clergy members are a new addition to the list of groups made exempt from conscription, according to a decree issued by the Ukrainian government on Friday.
Priests will be able to avoid active military service if they hold positions listed by the State Service of Ukraine for Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience (DESS).
The new policy exempts Ukrainian clergy from the salary requirements that allow draft-men age to claim the professional exemptions.
It also waives the limit on the number of military personnel who can be employed at critical institutions, which previously required that no more than 50% of employees be subject to military conscription.
