In the second reading, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on April 11 adopted the law on mobilization, excluding the amendment related to demobilization. Instead, the Cabinet of Ministers was tasked with developing a separate bill on the release of servicemen who are at the front. This was reported by Fedir Venislavsky, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence.
Venislavsky explained that the decision to remove the amendments concerns the initiative of the Cabinet of Ministers, which asked the parliament to instruct the government to develop a separate bill on the release of servicemen participating in military operations.
Venislavsky added that the term “demobilization” is unacceptable in the context of war, as it implies a general transition to a state of peace. Instead, during the conflict, the possibility of releasing servicemen based on additional criteria may be considered.
