The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has amended Resolution No. 76, allowing clergy to be exempt from conscription without restrictions on their number or requirements regarding their salary level, reports the Judicial-Legal Newspaper.
Under the updated rules, religious organizations are now recognized as critically important for the functioning of the economy and ensuring the country's life support systems. Employees of such organizations are no longer required to meet the minimum salary threshold of UAH 20,000.
Additionally, the Cabinet's decision clarifies that legal entities classified as religious organizations and included in the list meeting the criteria approved by the State Service of Ukraine on Ethnopolitics and Freedom of Conscience are officially designated as critical to the economy and the population's well-being.
As previously reported by the UOJ, employees of the Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center detained the rector of a UOC parish in the village of Povcha in the Rivne region.
