Let us note that the Defense Committee of the Verkhovna Rada previously supported the document with 12 votes in favor.. Then, during the committee meeting, five more of its members abstained from voting.

Let us remind you that deputies also reduced the deadline for submitting alternative projects to strengthen mobilization. Shortened deadlines for submission and recommendations of the relevant committee allowed deputies to begin consideration of the bill earlier.

True, the parliamentary bill on anti-corruption policy recognized the document as containing corruption risks. Primarily because the government will determine which law enforcement agencies will have reservations and who should be mobilized.

In turn, Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmitry Lubinets said that the government bill has a number of norms that do not comply with the Constitution. In particular, the rules on the electronic account of a person liable for military service.

The government submitted an updated bill on mobilization to the Verkhovna Rada on January 30. The document, in particular, defines a clear term of service for the period of martial law.

The document also stipulates that eligible women with a medical or pharmaceutical specialty are subject to military registration. And women registered with the military can be called up or recruited for defense work in wartime voluntarily.

The government also provided for the right to deferment for certain categories of students and teachers..

In addition, according to the new version of the mobilization bill No. 10449, all people with disabilities will have a deferment from mobilization, but they will need to undergo testing.

At the same time, officials propose that a summons to the territorial recruitment and social support center could be sent to Ukrainians through an electronic account.
