When we will be able to see this, we need to ask Mr. Malyuska. If this is a government initiative, then legislators, in this case, parliamentarians, will be waiting for this legislative initiative to be introduced. As for those people who have already served their sentences, this draft law on changes in mobilization already contains a provision that will allow those who have already served their sentences to be mobilized

- Freese said.

She added that those who have already served their sentences have no right to defend Ukraine.
