Not tarot readers or sushi makers: Ukraine's VPK company announced there are no bookings available; here are the details.

The defense industry company "Ballistics" supplies bulletproof vests to hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters, yet it cannot shield its key employees from mobilization, as stated by the owner of the business. He has reached out to the Ministry of Defense to understand the issue at hand.

Ukrainian officials have been unable to make a decision regarding the exemption from mobilization for employees of the company "Ballistics" in the defense industry for almost six months. The owner of the company and military officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Dovgiy, spoke about the summonses received by key staff members. He wrote about the situation at the defense enterprise and the challenges with exemptions on his Facebook page.

The company owner reported that in 2023-24, three individuals were mobilized into the Armed Forces, while he has served since the first day of Russia's full-scale invasion. The first to receive a summons from the recruitment center was a top manager in 2023, followed by two more in 2024. Dovgiy assured that the enterprise is losing important employees, which will impact the production of goods used by "hundreds of thousands of military personnel." Meanwhile, he noted that the authorities have been unable to agree on a deferral for the employees.

"The enterprise, whose products are used by hundreds of thousands of defenders, lacks support, while workers in secondary sectors — such as tarologists, sushi chefs, and others — receive exemptions without significant obstacles," wrote the military officer.

Dovgiy explained that the request for a deferral from mobilization was sent by the company on June 24, 2024, and a response was expected within 10 days. However, there has been no coordination, and it seems as if the company does not meet the criteria for exemptions. The military officer and owner of "Ballistics" outlined the economic indicators of the enterprise to justify his position and reached out on Facebook to the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine, and the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine for clarification.

At the time of publication, there were no responses from representatives of the Ministries regarding the exemption of employees in the defense sector.

LLC "Ballistics" is a company founded in 2014 that produces equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The company has two founders, as reported by the Youcontrol portal: Alexander Dovgiy and Bohdana Kogutenko. In the workshops of "Ballistics," they manufacture bulletproof vests, plate carriers, pouches, load-bearing systems, and more. The total number of employees is 200.

Exemption from Mobilization — Details

It should be noted that in mid-October 2024, the government suspended the processing of exemptions from mobilization, as reported by the media outlet NV, citing its own sources. Journalists provided explanations for this decision obtained from sources. Unnamed insiders stated that President Volodymyr Zelensky noticed an excessive number of exemptions, while there is a shortage of fighters at the front.

We remind you that on October 29, the publication "RBK-Ukraine" shared details about changes to the criteria for enterprises that will be allowed to exempt employees.
