(Therefore - ed.) against this background, it is very problematic to talk about dismissal (from military service during the legal regime of martial law - ed
Venislavsky reminded that in the law on mobilization, the Verkhovna Rada instructed the Cabinet of Ministers and the Ministry of Defense to submit a draft law on demobilization if they believe it is possible.
