New approaches to the mobilization and support of the economy during the war are being discussed in Ukraine. Lawyer Taras Borovsky made a proposal to introduce not only economic reservation, but also economic demobilization for fighters who have been defending the country for a long time. On the air of the "Kyiv24" TV channel, he noted that such a step could reduce tension in society and ensure fair conditions for defenders.
"Undoubtedly, I think that in order to remove the degree of tension, it is necessary to come up with some kind of mechanism. If we talk about economic reservation, then we should also talk about economic demobilization," Borovsky believes.
Borovsky emphasized that many citizens, especially entrepreneurs and activists, are vital for the development of Ukraine's economy. Many of them voluntarily joined the Armed Forces at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, but now find themselves in a situation where they cannot return to their businesses and projects.
"These people have fulfilled their duty and deserve economic demobilization. It would be fair," the lawyer stressed.
Opposing opinions
However, not everyone supports the idea of demobilization in such difficult conditions. People's Deputy Fedir Venislavskyi, a member of the Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, said that demanding a draft law on demobilization now is a dangerous step that could endanger Ukraine's statehood. He believes that the army still needs enough men to defend the country against an aggressor.
Hero of Ukraine, commander of K-2 battalion 54 OMBr Kyrylo Veres also expressed his position on mobilization. In his opinion, not everyone should fight on the front lines - some citizens can do more to win by working behind the scenes. This is especially true for those who can contribute to economic recovery and support vital industries.
"Not all men should dig trenches. Some may be more useful for the army, working on other fronts — economic and social," Veres noted.
