On the night of Thursday, April 11, the Verkhovna Rada completed consideration of more than 4,000 rejected amendments to the draft law on mobilization. People's deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak reported this. It is predicted that during the day of April 11, the parliament will proceed to consider the recommended amendments from the relevant committees and vote as a whole.
As Zheleznyak noted, consideration of 4,294 rejected amendments to the draft law on mobilization ended around 2:00. It took 11 hours, and by the end of the procedure, only 30 deputies remained in the hall. "Now there is a break until the morning, then a morning "motivational" performance by the military. After that, there will be 31 votes for the 31 considered amendments to the law. And the last vote for the draft law as a whole," the deputy explained about the next steps.
According to People's Deputies Yaroslav Zheleznyak and Oleksiy Honcharenko, during most of the 11-hour process, there were not enough deputies in the session hall for effective voting. Therefore, it is more likely that all considered amendments remained rejected.
The author of each of the amendments could insist on its inclusion in the vote, but for the adoption of such an amendment, it would be necessary to receive 226 votes.
Regarding the draft law on mobilization, we remind you: on January 30, the government registered a new version of the draft law on mobilization (No. 10449) in the Verkhovna Rada. It provides, among other things, for the introduction of subpoenas through the conscript's electronic office.
The government also proposed setting the term of service — in the case of continuous service for 36 months during martial law. Dismissal from military service in this case had to be carried out within the time limits determined by the decision of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
On February 7, draft law No. 10449 on strengthening mobilization was supported in the parliament at the first reading. On February 27, the Council's committee on national security began considering the draft law for the second reading.
On April 9, the committee on national security and defense, at the initiative of the Cabinet of Ministers, removed the section on terms of service from the draft law on mobilization and completed its consideration.
Member of the committee, People's Deputy Iryna Friz, revealed the details of the approved amendments to the draft law on mobilization.
For example, the provision of consular services to citizens of Ukraine abroad will be carried out on the condition that they have updated their personal data in consular institutions within 60 days from the date of entry into force of the Law, in accordance with the requirements of martial law.
The implementation of an electronic office for conscripts, conscripts and reservists remains a right (possibility), but not an obligation.
