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 come 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 a demobilisation period of 36 months, introducing voluntary mobilisation for convicts, restrictions on evaders, banning civil service without military training, etc.

Earlier, the National Security, Defence and Intelligence Committee considered all 16 areas of the draft law on mobilisation.
The main issue – demobilisation – was decided to be discussed during the consideration of amendments, not in the wording proposed by the government. This means that the current version does not have the support of the Committee.
