The bill on changing the rules of mobilization, military accounting, and service, which the government submitted to the Verkhovna Rada, will be sent back for further revision, according to Davyd Arakhamia, the head of the Servant of the People party in the Ukrainian Parliament.
According to him, a closed meeting with the military command and a meeting of the Conciliation Council in a closed mode took place today.
Present at the meeting were the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Serhii Shaptala, Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov, the leadership of the Verkhovna Rada, faction leaders, and committee heads.
"The main issue is bill No. 10378 on improving mobilization, military accounting, and military service," wrote Arakhamia.
He reminded that the document was discussed in the Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence in a closed mode, complying with the legislation on working with classified information.
"There were many discussions. We understand the request of the military command and are ready to meet them halfway. However, not all norms can be supported. Some provisions directly violate human rights, some are not optimally formulated. This was openly stated to the military command," Arakhamia reported.
He added that all political forces understood and supported the need for mobilization.
"As a result of the meeting, the bill is returned to the initiator. At the same time, we submit proposals developed in the committee and in working groups," concluded the head of the "Servant of the People" faction.
