The Ukrainian parliament will begin amending the draft law on mobilization this week, taking into account the comments of the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights. The changes to the draft will be made, tentatively, after assessing the comments, and a more compromise version of the law will be prepared.
This was reported by Yevheniya Kravchuk, Deputy Chairwoman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy. She also noted that the original bill in its current form will not be put to a vote due to its shortcomings.
Kravchuk stressed the need to create a fairer and clearer law to avoid corruption norms and take into account the Ombudsman's remarks. An interdepartmental working group will begin working on an updated version of the bill this week.
The draft law on mobilization in Ukraine was introduced in December 2023 and provides for restrictions for draft evaders, in particular, a ban on disposing of their property and acquiring new movable and immovable property. However, these restrictions have caused controversy and indignation, including from the Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets. According to Yevheniya Kravchuk, it is planned to create a compromise option that would take into account the interests of citizens and not violate constitutional principles.
