Details: He reported that during the conciliation council on September 17, the leadership of the parliament, factions and groups discussed with representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Armed Forces how to solve the problem related to the mobilization of people of limited age from 18 to 25 years.
Direct speech: “We held extensive discussions with colleagues from the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff. And we made the following decisions. First, the Verkhovna Rada will develop a normal mechanism so that mobilized men aged 18 to 25 will no longer be subject to mobilization. Second, we must ensure a normal replacement these persons thanks to the general mobilization in the state, because we cannot expose certain areas of the front.”
Details: At the same time, according to Stefanchuk, representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff assured that literally in the next few days an order will appear prohibiting the mobilization of persons of limited fitness aged 18 to 25.
The head of the Verkhovna Rada also added that the order should contain a provision that already mobilized persons with limited fitness will not participate in assault operations.
At the same time, people’s deputies will discuss with representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff how to release from service those persons who have already been mobilized and replace them with other fighters.
Stefanchuk emphasized that after this, the parliament will return to consideration of the relevant draft law No. 11379-D.
We will remind: Currently, citizens aged 25 to 60 are subject to mobilization. But there are exceptions for men younger than this age. In particular, when a citizen under the age of 25 is already on the list of conscripts (not conscripts) and is subject to mobilization on general grounds. This is possible if he graduated from the military department and, accordingly, has an officer rank or has completed military service.
