Zelensky signs draconian mobilization bill

The new legislation further simplifies mobilization procedures and introduces new penalties for draft dodgers

President Vladimir Zelensky signed a controversial military mobilization bill into law on Tuesday, a legislation card on the Ukrainian parliament’s website indicates.

The new legislation was passed by the Verkhovna Rada earlier this month, following a drawn-out debate over its contents. In a last-minute turn of events, its provisions became even stricter than originally proposed, with a demobilization clause withdrawn.

The adopted legislation effectively means that all draftees are set to remain in the military indefinitely, a decision reportedly lobbied for by the recently appointed commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Aleksandr Syrsky. A demobilization procedure is expected to be introduced in separate legislation, though it remains unclear when exactly such a bill could materialize.

The new law further simplifies draft procedures, with all Ukrainians obliged to “update data” on themselves with the military authorities within 60 days after the legislation comes into force. The provision applies to Ukrainians living abroad as well.

Apart from that, all eligible individuals aged 18 to 60 now must always carry their military ID on them. Moreover, a conscription notice is forthwith considered to be delivered to a draftee even should conscription officers fail to meet them in person at their residence and actually hand them their notice.

The legislation also introduces new penalties for breaches, including fines and suspension of a driver’s permit. The police can also forcibly deliver a suspected draft dodger to an enlistment office should a draftee fail to show up on being deemed to have received their conscription notice.

Critics of the legislation have argued that it will further distance the Ukrainian authorities from the general public. It has also reportedly received a poor reception within the military itself, given the lack of any demobilization mechanisms. The reception was apparently also influenced by the fact that the bill’s introduction was justified largely by the purported need to relieve war-weary soldiers from their military service.

Kiev has maintained a mobilization drive since the early days of the conflict with Russia, which broke out in late February 2022. The mobilization effort grew increasingly chaotic and lawless over time, with numerous videos circulating online showing Ukrainian enlistment officers chasing potential soldiers in the streets, violently detaining them and beating them up. Senior Ukrainian officials, however, have routinely dismissed concerns over mounting violations as Russian propaganda.

I'm shocked. Our honest politicians told us that they had the Russians on the ropes.

They have everything possible now what they have been lying about Russia. I've strongly adviced my two nephews who escaped Ukraine with bribe one year ago to leave EU for Serbia or South America, because sooner or later Ukraine will probably reach its fled citizens with its tentacles to deport and throw them to the frontline legally.

Zelensky and his henchmen should just finally accept that they would never be able to win a war against Russia.

Might doesn't make a right. Even if Ukraine was doing great on the battlefield, Russia's claims against Ukraine are still legit.

In the Pentagon they can now celebrate Christmas, Easter and birthday simultaneously. Without being in the NATO Ukrainian men now have to fight for the NATO indefinitely. Former Soviets are destroying each other enduringly.

Is it by chance that this happens when the president is no ethnic Ukrainian? Would he do the same if there were 300,000 Jews fighting at the front with huge casualties every day?

[slaog]

More cannon fodder.

Good.

Ukrainian rich deserters enjoying and shopping in my country should be deported as fast as possible.

Cowards who fled their country in hour of need. Zero compassion.

Putin is Russian and Russians have equaly large losses. Ukraine has every right to defend against that retard and his ideas.

Rich deserters are not touched and will never be touched, only those who spent last money or had to collect these money from all neighbors just to bribe the police and border control. Most of those who condemn deserters on TV have their kids hidden in EU, whole Ukrainian politicum.

As for those who fled, there was always significant part of Ukrainian citizens who would never find it worth to die for Ukraine, even without being pro Russian. None of my male relatives is conscripted, few fled, some have false diagnosis bought to avoid being conscripted.

The positive part is that all their patriotic/passionate part of society is almost totally dead, country is full of those who managed to avoid army in 2+ years, they're being picked from streets now massively, but this source is not endless.

Through this war, West and Ukrainians are making a great job of cleansing for us our future lands from unloyal populace leaving the submissive men, women, kids and older people. They're finished as nation, even if war gonna stop tomorrow.
