Bezuhla proposed sending everyone to the army after school: both boys and girls should serve

People's Deputy Maryana Bezuhla proposed introducing mandatory military service after school for all young men and women. According to her, the service could last one to two years, and the system of deferrals and exemptions should be reviewed.

This is reported by Maryana Bezuhla.

During a broadcast of the media outlet Shelter, the deputy stated that Ukraine needs to strengthen militarization of society. As a benchmark, she cited Israel's experience, where military service is an important part of the national security system.

Bezuhla believes that after finishing school everyone should serve, regardless of gender. According to her, the minimum duration of such service could be one to two years.

Separately, the deputy spoke against deferrals from military service for the sake of pursuing higher education. In her view, a system with no exceptions would significantly expand the number of people involved in the defense of the country.

Bezuhla also linked her proposal to the problem of military rotations. She believes that without expanding mobilization resources and revising exemptions it will be difficult to ensure a regular replacement for those who have served for a long time.

According to the deputy, if the number of people willing to serve is not increased, it will be difficult to set clear terms of service for soldiers.

Separately, Bezuhla criticized the current exemption system, under which some workers, including officials, have protection from mobilization, while other service members remain on the front lines for an extended period.
