The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk answered the question about the demobilization of the military by calling it a “historical callus” of Ukraine. He said this in an interview with the Rada TV channel, UNN reports .
When asked whether the draft law on demobilization is already being considered, Stefanchuk replied:
About demobilization. Maybe I have poor knowledge, but I don't know of a country that carried out demobilization during the war... I'm sorry, I know such a country - the Ukrainian People's Republic in 1918. At that time, the Minister of Defense Mykola Porsh submitted a draft law on demobilization to the Central Rada. This bill was then voted by the Central Rada... Do I need to tell you what happened next? It is very important for me that the current Verkhovna Rada does not repeat the mistake of the Central Rada
He says that demobilization in Ukraine is a “historical blister” and we must speak frankly about it.
Those who are on the front line deserve their exclusive right to justice, so the issues of vacations, rotations, privileges and support are all things that need to be implemented. We have partially implemented this issue through the law on mobilization. Let's just wait and see. Knowing history, I don't know the right answer
Recall
The Ministry of Defense does not know whether demobilization is possible nowbecause it depends on very theoretical and practical factors.
