What are the grounds for withdrawing a fleet of vehicles for military use?

The seizure of property of state-owned enterprises and state-owned business associations under the legal regime of martial law or a state of emergency is free of charge.

Mandatory conditions for alienation of private property:

·       vehicles can be alienated from citizens only on a paid basis;

·       the decision to alienate property is made by the military command and approved by the relevant local authorities. In areas where military operations are underway, the expropriation or seizure of property is carried out only by decision of the military command;

·       prior to the alienation of a vehicle, the market value of the property is assessed, and the original of such an opinion is provided to the owner;

·       the alienation of property is documented, namely, the Act on the Compulsory Alienation of Property.

If the requisitioned property is retained after the emergency has ended, the person to whom it belonged has the right to demand its return in court.
