What is happening to the law on mobilization and whether the General Staff plans to increase the intensity of mobilization - these questions were answered by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Le Monde, UNN reports.
Details
Zelensky said that mobilization in Ukraine has been in place since the beginning of the war and continues every few months.
As for the law on mobilization, he said that when the country is at war, more practical details should be applied.
"Amendments to the law on mobilization regarding some practical steps are in the parliament. They have passed the first reading, but there are debates among parliamentarians, they are arguing about when it is possible to dismiss guys, when it is not, which of them can be dismissed, which groups of people, etc." the President said.
He says that in wartime, there is no demobilization in ordinary law during the war. This raises various questions about rotations and vacations.
"The military wants answers on what can be improved, and parliamentarians want to see what the consequences will be for certain segments of society," Zelensky added.
The President added that the issue of mobilization fully belongs to the Parliament and until these debates are completed in the committees, no vote will be held. It is important to clarify that these debates do not affect the demobilization process.
Regarding the increase in the intensity of mobilization, he said that there are further mobilization steps envisaged by the General Staff of Ukraine. The General Staff has the relevant statistics, and they are in line with the planned dynamics.
Recall
Zelenskyy believesthat Putin may launch a ground operation in non-nuclear countries such as Moldova or the Baltic states to destabilize them and strengthen his negotiating position.
