The draft law concerning changes in the rules of mobilization, military registration and service, submitted to the Verkhovna Rada by the government, will be returned for improvement.

A closed meeting with the military command and a session of the Conciliation Council took place today. It was attended by the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Defense Minister Rustem Umyerov, as well as representatives of the Verkhovna Rada, heads of factions and committees.

According to Arakhamia, intense discussions took place during the meeting, and although the political forces understand the need for mobilization, not all provisions of the draft law can be supported.

‘There were many discussions. We understand the request of the military command and are ready to meet it. But not all norms can be supported. Some provisions directly violate human rights, some are not optimally formulated. This was openly told to the military command,’ Arakhamia said.

He added that the results of the meeting indicate that the draft law is returned to the initiator with proposals developed in the committee and working groups.

Earlier, the parliamentary committee recommended amendments to the draft law.
