The Ministry of Defense has completed a review of the status of critically important enterprises in the defense-industrial complex. 86% of the companies confirmed their status, while 14% did not.
The status of a “critically important enterprise” determines whether conscripted employees can be exempted from military service.
The review covered statuses granted prior to July 7, 2026. Enterprises were required to submit documents by August 10.
A simplified procedure applied to certain categories of companies—specifically, those fulfilling defense contracts with a production share exceeding 50%, residents of Defence City, manufacturers of ammunition and explosives, as well as aviation and space enterprises.
The Ministry of Defense is advising companies that did not confirm their status to repeat the procedure and submit a complete set of documents under the general requirements.
