Nardepka Iryna Friz confirmed that the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense have agreed to changes in the issue of demobilization. However, the military leadership put forward one condition.

On June 19, the secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, Roman Kostenko, said that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is satisfied with the results of increased mobilization, and by the end of the summer the government can start preparing the law on demobilization. On the same day, on the air of “Espresso”, Iryna Friz, member of the National Assembly and member of this committee, shared the details.

“At the working group with the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, the chairman really raised the issue of the need to develop a corresponding draft law, which, according to the final provision of the law on mobilization was entrusted to the executive branch of power, i.e. the government,” she confirmed.

According to the deputy, it was agreed at the meeting that the General Staff of the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense will monitor the pace of mobilization for 3-4 months. If the results of increased mobilization continue to be positive, a draft law on demobilization should be developed already in June. Frize noted that then the document will be considered and approved in parliament in a timely manner.

“It is desirable that it should come into force in December. Therefore, we will see to what extent these deadlines will be met, and most importantly, to what extent the law on mobilization will really preserve the positive dynamics regarding the replenishment of our army according to the new rules,” said the member of parliament.

Demobilization in Ukraine: draft law

She added that the European Solidarity faction already registered a draft law on demobilization in May.

“It consists in the fact that 36 months of continuous military service, with of which 18 are under combat orders, is an opportunity and an argument for release. The order of dismissal can be discussed, but it is an absolutely effective and absolutely correct algorithm in view of the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in retraining in case of dismissal, etc.,” said Friz.
