Addendum

MP Oleksandr Fediyenko previously stated that demobilization was impossible due to the lack of military personnel. He emphasized the need to introduce a rotational system for military recreation.

In January, First Deputy Defense Minister Ivan Havryliuk said that the draft law on service terms would be adopted when units capable of replacing those fighting at the front are trained. There is no other option.
