In the Verkhovna Rada they propose focusing on identifying those liable for military service who still have not registered for military records. According to People's Deputy Oleksandr Fediyenko, there may be millions of such people in Ukraine. At the same time, the lawmaker raised the issue of strengthening liability for unauthorized desertion from a military unit and the advisability of certain exemptions from conscription.
The relevant initiatives were described by People's Deputy from the Servant of the People party, member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, Oleksandr Fediyenko, in a comment to Censor.NET.
According to him, the profile committee recommends first improving the mechanisms for identifying people who have not registered for military records and preparing the necessary legislative changes.
The parliamentarian emphasized that the state must find a way to identify such citizens. He estimates their number in the millions, although he did not provide specific statistical data.
A separate area of work, in Fediyenko’s view, should be reviewing the liability of service members for unauthorized desertion from a unit (UDU). At the same time, these issues also fall under the competence of the parliamentary Committee on Law Enforcement.
What they propose to change regarding UDU
The deputy is convinced that before increasing liability it is necessary to analyze existing criminal proceedings.
He claims that the number of opened cases regarding UDU exceeds the number of service members who actually deserted their places of service. That is why, Fediyenko believes, an audit should be carried out first, relevant procedures should be streamlined, and only then should the sanctions be revised.
Reservations in military administrations also raise questions
Another problem the lawmaker named is the practice of reserving positions for employees by certain military administrations.
In particular, Fediyenko drew attention to the Luhansk and Donetsk administrations. According to him, the size of their staff is increasing, while the need to reserve specific employees remains unclear.
The MP believes that authorities should make an appropriate political decision and thoroughly analyze the staffing needs of such institutions.
At the same time, he acknowledged that reviewing these issues, as well as strengthening measures against those who violated mobilization legislation, may cause significant public discontent.
The deputy believes the prime minister and the government are aware of the possible negative reaction to such initiatives. That is why adopting such decisions will be politically difficult.
As a reminder, Ukrainians who previously were not on the military register may find that the Reserv+ app does not contain information about them. Although legislation provides for the automatic entry of data for certain categories of citizens, sometimes it is necessary to personally contact the territorial recruitment center to process the documents. For men aged from 25 years such a visit may result in referral to a medical conscription commission (VLC) and subsequent mobilization.
