Decisions about who is medically fit for military service in Ukraine will face ongoing checks under an order signed by armed forces commander-in-chief Mykhailo Drapatyi, Ukraine's Channel 24 (24 Канал) reports.
The announcement concerns military medical commissions, known by the Ukrainian abbreviation VLK. These bodies assess fitness for service. According to the report, their decisions will be regularly reviewed to establish whether they are justified, with the stated goals of preventing the mobilization of medically unfit citizens and tackling corruption.
The six-second Short presents the announcement as text over a still photograph of Drapatyi in uniform, accompanied by music. There is no spoken statement from him. It describes tighter oversight of medical decisions, rather than announcing a new set of medical eligibility criteria, and does not explain who will conduct the checks or how an individual assessment could be challenged.
Ukrainian military officer who has led Ukraine’s armed forces as commander-in-chief since July 2026. He previously commanded the Joint Forces and the Ground Forces.
