The idea of forced mobilization of 100,000 foreigners in Ukraine has no basis at the level of state policy and contradicts the Constitution. Fedir Venislavsky, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee, stated that such initiatives have not been considered.
Today's massive Russian strike on Ukraine is a typical reaction to peace initiatives, said Fedir Venislavskyi. Russia is trying to impose unacceptable conditions, particularly regarding the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Donbas.
Former heads of the State Aviation Service, Oleksandr Bilchuk and Ihor Zelinskyi, made decisions that could have harmed Ukraine's defense capabilities. Their actions, including blocking the use of Il-76 aircraft and cooperating with Russian companies, should be investigated within the framework of criminal proceedings.
Ihor Zelinsky, who is being lobbied for the position of head of the State Aviation Service, blocked the operation of the Ministry of Defense's Il-76MD military transport aircraft. This decision made it impossible to use critically important aviation equipment for the logistical needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the war.
Vice Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba is lobbying for the appointment of Ihor Zelinsky to the post of head of the State Aviation Service, despite his involvement in decisions that could have harmed Ukrainian aviation and effectively played into the hands of the Russian Federation. Zelinsky's appointment could become a strategic mistake for the state and obviously carries risks for national security in wartime.
People's deputies Fedir Venislavskyi and Volodymyr Vatras confirmed work on draft laws regarding post-war elections, but Oleksandr Korniienko denies the existence of ready legislative initiatives.

This is despite the fact that the US Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) had already deemed AAL Group Ltd unsuitable for cooperation in 2024.
The head of the State Aviation Service, Oleksandr Bilchuk, transferred the maintenance of repair documentation for Ukrainian helicopters to AAL Group Ltd, a company with ties to the Russian defense-industrial complex. Despite Rostec certificates and a ban on cooperation from the United States, the company still has access to sensitive technical information.
Experts demand more thorough checks of companies working with sensitive information for ties to the Russian Federation.

People's Deputy Fedir Venislavsky explained that the new law allowing men under 22 to travel abroad does not affect mobilization, as the mobilization age starts at 25.

People's Deputy Fedir Venislavsky explained the purpose of the UAH 200 billion defense reserve in the state budget. The funds will be used to finance the most urgent technological and material needs of defense, and their sources have been agreed upon with the Ministry of Finance and the relevant department.
People's Deputy Fedir Venislavsky stated that the funds allocated for Ukraine's defense are significantly less than the real needs of the security sector. The parliament prioritizes supporting the defense sector, seeking sources of revenue for the budget.
Ukraine is negotiating with the United States on the supply of long-range weapons, but is already inflicting significant losses on the enemy with its own developments. This was confirmed by People's Deputy Fedir Venislavskyi, emphasizing the effectiveness of Ukrainian Deep Strike systems.
Law enforcement agencies should open criminal proceedings regarding Oleksandr Bilchuk's transfer of repair documentation for Mi-8MT(MTV) helicopters to the foreign company AAL Group Ltd, which is connected with the Russian military-industrial complex. This creates a threat of sensitive information leakage and may have signs of high treason.
President Zelenskyy signed laws protecting the defense industry, which restrict access to information about enterprises. At the same time, the State Aviation Service transferred documentation for Mi-8 helicopters to a company with Russian ties, which jeopardizes national security.
Former Deputy Head of the State Bureau of Investigation, Oleksandr Babikov, commented on the transfer of repair documentation for Mi-8MT(MTV) helicopters to the foreign company AAL Group Ltd, which is connected to the Russian Federation, by the head of the State Aviation Service, Oleksandr Bilchuk.
