Ukraine considers demobilization and lifting partial travel ban
Source: Verkhovna Rada’s website
The Ukrainian parliament has introduced a new bill proposing demobilization after 36 months of service and a partial lift on travel restrictions.
The proposed bill # 11460 aims to motivate troops and offer legal protections during the ongoing conflict. Key points include granting demobilization to those who have served continuously for 36 months, including 18 months in active combat.
Additionally, the bill suggests exempting certain individuals from mobilization for 12 months post-service, unless they choose to continue. It also proposes lifting travel bans for specific groups, including MPs, government officials, judges, prosecutors, and public organization representatives, allowing them to travel abroad with proper documentation during mobilization periods.
To maintain operational effectiveness, the bill suggests retaining 100% of staff from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, military personnel, and the State Border Guard Service. It also proposes keeping 50% of the National Police, Prosecutor’s Office, and other law enforcement agencies’ employees on duty.
The aim is to create a more adaptable military staffing system while reinforcing human rights protections during the war.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
