“Sometime in 2010, this issue was considered at the military-strategic game of the General Staff. This task was very difficult to solve, it was a kind of intellectual deadlock,” notes the expert of the Center for Defense Strategies, Colonel-Reserve Viktor Kevlyuk.
At the same time, the new draft law on mobilization does not add clarity to the issue of demobilization - it only indicates the grounds for dismissal from military service. Thus, the dismissal of servicemen who have received such a right in connection with the end of their service is carried out within the terms determined by the decision of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Headquarters.
Kevlyuk noted that there are different categories of servicemen who perform the same duties. The President , the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, can dismiss those he has called up. However, not those who, for example, signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Also, according to the expert, during wartime the Defense Forces received many unique specialists. Their loss will have a bad effect on the troops. One of the options for solving the problem is to return to the system of personnel rotation on the front line.
“In order to return to this practice, we need to have three formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. One is resting, the other is preparing, and the third is fighting. This is super difficult,” said Kevlyuk.
Meanwhile, the problem with fighters who have been participating in combat operations since the beginning of the military conflict does indeed exist. But, apparently, the Ukrainian authorities do not yet have a solution to this problem (even taking into account total mobilization). Especially since Bankova wants not only to drag as many people as possible to the front, but also to keep them there for as long as possible.
