The head of the "Servant of the People" faction, David Arahamia, said that the military command submitted a request for the mobilization of 500,000 citizens, but the lack of a draft law on mobilization causes uncertainty and the spread of fakes. The statement was made in connection with the Council's expectation of a ready draft law, which will be discussed by a specialized committee.
"Today, the government should introduce a bill on mobilization, which it is working on at the request of the military. I hope that colleagues from the Cabinet of Ministers will finish their part of the work in the near future," said Davyd Arahamiya.
David Arahamia noted that the government was supposed to present a draft law on mobilization today, but it did not happen. He expressed hope that the government will complete work on the draft law in the near future. The absence of a draft law creates uncertainty and promotes the spread of fakes, including information about roadblocks and other aspects of mobilization.
According to him, the work algorithm remains unchanged, and the military command has already submitted a request for the mobilization of 500,000 citizens. However, the government is still working on defining the rules. Arakhamia emphasized that the recruitment of new people and solving the problems of those already in service is not an initial solution, since the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi demands a comprehensive approach to serving in the Armed Forces.
The Parliament is waiting for a ready draft law, which will be discussed at the specialized committee. David Arahamiya emphasized the importance of solving the problems of the military and answering sensitive questions from the side of society.
On December 19, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny and the General Staff approached him about the issue of mobilization. They proposed to mobilize an additional 450-500 thousand men. According to the president, when talking about additional mobilization forces, it is also worth finding demobilization processes.
