The Council deleted the "dembel" from the draft law on mobilization, fearing that the adoption of the rule on the demobilization of the military in 36 months would lead to a reduction in Western aid.
This was stated by Yevgenia Kravchuk, deputy head of the "Servant of the People" faction.
"Let's be honest, they don't talk about it much, but I felt it in communication with our partners in the West. They also very closely followed these battles, this attack of populism by some political forces. And they honestly asked: "Are you going to fight? Because we help." Yes, this aid is not enough, we are waiting for a vote on this package from the US. Hopefully there will be some good news next week. But what kind of signal would that be? A signal that we are effectively saying that a large part of the troops are going home. What does it mean? Are we supposed to give up? And why help a country that is going to surrender?" Kravchuk said.
It will be recalled that the initial version of the draft law on mobilization provided for a "dembel" for those who served 36 months.
But before the second reading, this item disappeared from the document at the request of head of the Syrskyi Committee.
