MPs have invited Ukraine’s top military leadership to speak at the Verkhovna Rada session hall on the draft law on mobilisation. This was stated by MP Oleksiy Honcharenko, according to Komersant ukrainskyi 
The relevant decision was supported by 315 MPs during a meeting on 10 April.
At the same time, the Rada failed to vote on the invitation of Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and Defence Minister Rustem Umerov before considering the draft law on mobilisation. Only 138 MPs supported the decision.
Honcharenko suggested that the draft law was supported by the Servant of the People faction, former MPs from the OPFL and Holos factions, as well as some majoritarian MPs.
It should be noted that the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security approved the text of the draft law on mobilisation for the second reading. The head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy, Danylo Hetmantsev, published the text of the proposed draft law with amendments.
Today, 10 April, the document was submitted to parliament.
The law will enter into force one month after the day following its publication, except for those paragraphs that relate to amendments to parts four and five of Article 6 of the Law of Ukraine “On Mobilisation Preparation and Mobilisation” – they will enter into force eight months after the day following the publication of this Law.
Draft law on mobilisation
on 7 February, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted a new draft law on mobilisation without proposals from the relevant committee. It is expected to be voted on as a whole at the end of February, and the draft law may enter into force in April.
The draft law proposes, among other things, to introduce summonses through the conscript’s electronic cabinet. Other innovations include lowering the conscription age to 25 years, setting the demobilisation period at 36 months, introducing voluntary mobilisation for convicts, restrictions on evaders, banning civil service without military training, etc.
