The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine prepared a bill on dismissal from the service and rotation of the fighters during martial law, but it was not supported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so the ministry did not register it in parliament. About this writes “Ukrainian Truth” with reference to the response of the Ministry of Defense. According to the publication, the bill proposes to resolve the possibility of demobilization through three years of service, but provided that the military participated in the hostilities for 18 months by aggregate. In the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they believe that if this document is implemented, a significant number of military personnel will have to be demobilized at the same time, which will lead to a significant reduction in the staffing of combat units. ” “Ukrainian Pravda” in the Verkhovna Rada said that we are talking about 108 thousand military personnel, including 14 thousand officers. On April 1, a member of the defense committee of the Rada Fedor Venislavsky said that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine developed a rotation mechanism in which, after 90 days of participation directly in hostilities, the military “has the right to rest, again, for several months.” When this mechanism comes into force, he did not specify. In 2024, the Verkhovna Rada considered the mobilization bill, which, in particular, provided for clear service life for the military. However, the norm on demobilization was removed from the document. (Tagstotranslate) News
