On Wednesday, Ukraine’s Parliament approved bill No. 12095, which enables military personnel who deserted or went AWOL for the first time to voluntarily return to service. The bill garnered the support of 253 lawmakers.

The legislation allows soldiers who deserted once during martial law to resume service if they voluntarily return to their units and express willingness to continue serving. Their military contracts will remain valid, and they will regain access to:

  • Financial allowances
  • Food and clothing provisions
  • Other benefits and social guarantees

In addition, criminal cases initiated under Articles 407 (unauthorized leave) and 408 (desertion) of Ukraine’s Criminal Code will not disqualify these personnel from returning to service or continuing under their contracts.

This step aims to provide a second chance to those who regret their actions, while bolstering Ukraine’s military ranks during a critical time.

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.
