Ukraine's Defense Ministry says it supports exempting as many defense industry workers as possible from mobilization, according to Defense Minister Evgeniy Khmara, so long as companies are fulfilling contracts for front-line systems. Khmara said the exemption system should be fair and weighted by each company's actual contribution to the Defense Forces.

As of September 1, 86 percent of defense industry companies reviewed had retained critical-enterprise status; the remaining 14 percent can reapply with a full set of documents under existing procedure.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

It makes a certain homespun sense to keep the people welding the shells out of the trench digging. The harder trick is the paperwork, since 'actual contribution' is exactly the kind of phrase a bureaucracy can stretch to fit whoever has the right friend in the ministry. Watch who the other 14 percent turn out to be.
