Mobilization mechanisms in Ukraine may undergo significant changes in the near future. The Verkhovna Rada announces the preparation of a comprehensive approach that should simultaneously reduce conflicts during conscription and increase responsibility for those who evade military service.
This was reported by Fedir Venislavsky, a member of the parliamentary Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence. According to him, the issue of improving mobilization procedures is being actively worked on, and the changes should be systemic - taking into account both the rights of citizens and the needs of the state's defense.
One of the key tasks, the deputy noted, is to reduce the number of conflict situations during mobilization activities. Earlier, the President of Ukraine emphasized the need to minimize cases that cause public resonance and accusations of human rights violations. According to Venislavsky, this position is supported by both the relevant committee and the Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov.
The point is to ensure that the activities of territorial procurement centers do not become a basis for public scandals or information manipulation. At the same time, the parliamentarian acknowledged that numerous cases of citizens failing to fulfill their obligation to appear at the TCC upon summons remain a problem.
In this regard, the Ministry of Defense is preparing a package of proposals, which should be presented to the relevant committee in the near future. After that, a broader parliamentary discussion is expected.
According to Venislavsky, the concept of changes involves increased responsibility for individuals who ignore mobilization requirements. He emphasized that the lives of those who do not fulfill their constitutional duty to protect the state should not be easier than the lives of individuals who evade other obligations, such as paying alimony. Currently, according to him, stricter restrictions are applied to alimony defaulters than to citizens who evade conscription.
Details of the upcoming changes have not yet been disclosed. They are planned to be made public after the proposals are considered by a parliamentary committee.
