The draft law on the demobilization of conscripts adopted by the Verkhovna Rada provides for their discharge to the reserve after the end of their military service unless they express a desire to continue their service under a contract. The discharged soldiers will have a one-year deferral from mobilization, UNN reports, citing the Defense Ministry.

Reportedly, from the day the draft law comes into effect, conscripts whose final term of service fell during the period of martial law should be discharged unless they express a desire to continue their service under a contract.
Those servicemen who will be discharged into the reserve will have a deferral from mobilization for 12 months from the date of discharge.
I thank the President for his initiative and the MPs for supporting this draft law. This issue needed to be addressed a long time ago. I am also grateful to all conscripts for continuing to perform their tasks all this time, despite the fact that they had to serve much longer. I am grateful to the families of conscripts who have supported their loved ones throughout this time
Earlier, UNN reported that the Verkhovna Rada had adopted the draft law on the demobilization of conscripts as a basis and as a whole.
