The draft law on mobilization submitted to the Verkhovna Rada by the Cabinet of Ministers will not be voted on in the form proposed by the government. The draft law will be put to a vote by the Verkhovna Rada only after discussion and amendments. This was stated by Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to the head of the Presidential Office, during a telethon, UNN reports.
Details
The war that we have on the territory of Ukraine today requires legal and proper mobilization processes. Because the law that is being used today does not correspond to current realities. That is why it is very good that there is a discussion at the level of the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Finance or the Cabinet of Ministers as a whole, at the level of the specialized committees of the Rada, at the level of the expert community. This is the right thing to do
He added that the bill would not be voted on in its current form.
"Will it (the draft law - ed.) be in this form? No, it won't. Of course, this is why a certain draft law is introduced - for discussion. After everything is taken into account, appropriate changes are made, we will get a more or less optimal draft law that takes into account that we are in a long, large-scale, intense war, and Russia will not stop somewhere, it will keep pushing until it loses this war," the advisor to the head of the OP noted.
Podolyak emphasized that the draft law will be discussed and regulated so that it contains the right regulatory positions.
Recall
On December 25, the Cabinet of Ministers registered a draft law on mobilization in the Verkhovna Rada. The proposed provisions include lowering the conscription age from 27 to 25 years, the possibility of including persons who evaded mobilization in the register of debtors, and the abolition of the deferral for persons with group III disabilities.
First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Oleksandr Kornienko stated that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, representatives of the relevant committees and the Ministry of Finance should discuss the draft law on mobilization.
