a bill on mobilization to the parliament. even before the consideration of this document in the session hall of the verkhovna rada, a lively discussion of this document has already begun both within the walls of the parliament and outside the walls of the rada. how do you assess the proposed changes by shmyhal's government regarding. mobilization and the formation of a mobilization resource in 2024, well, there are several aspects here, because we have also seen president zelenskyi's statements, his press conference, the first separate press conference of commander-in-chief general zaluzhnyi, this is widely discussed in society, so the first thing we can do is that mobilization is definitely necessary. obviously, it is quite clear that the defenders of ukraine. who are in the army without any prospect of release is absurd, people cannot

be in the army permanently without any hope that they will be replaced someday, well, they can, if it is a voluntary choice, and there are many of them, because in the war in ukraine, and in principle, the situation is very difficult, but people should know when they will be released, and the military themselves expected for a long time that there would still be 24 months for ukrainians to mobilize after being mobilized into the armed forces of ukraine. could return home after that, the bill proposes 36 months, and by and large general zaluz did not support these 36 months, he said that it was a kind of compromise between him and the government, so people need to be changed, plus obviously everything depends on the plans the aggressor, and if it happens that more will be needed soldiers, then more officers, then obviously more people will have to be mobilized, so, unfortunately, mobilization is definitely necessary, another matter is how it will take place in ukraine and by what methods are they carried out? initially, in principle, for many years, the entire

history of mobilization, which was carried out by the former military committees or tsk, was disrupted, and we remember very well the period when the volunteers left, then they mobilized whoever they could, there were not enough of these people, people went to the territorial defense units, having i hope they will to defend the bridges there in the motherland, where there are no direct hostilities, here the brigades have already turned into infantry by and large and... and in this way the first problem with mobilization was solved, to some extent it was a deception, but there was no other way out, because if it weren't for these people who heroically began to defend ukraine, then there wouldn't be ours. at the front, and the enemy would have had much more success, after that, obviously, this draft law has now been submitted, and everyone is afraid of this draft law and everyone is throwing it around like a roast potatoes from hand to hand, the president says that it is not him, that it is not his responsibility, although he is the supreme commander, the commander-in-chief says that they submitted the need for the armed forces to the government and it is up to the government

to determine that, which is true in principle, but he himself says that he would... where he would not want to serve, these are former military commanders, yes, and they are subordinate to the army, and when the president intervened there and ordered the dismissal of all the military commissars, apparently there were such , what are the houses like in spain were built, they must be expelled and their activities investigated, but there were probably honest ones who had experience, after them came people who did not have this experience, did military commissars and military commissars stop being centers of corruption, no, unfortunately, they did not stop, yes, until things, like the borders, where they continue... to leave and the vlk, where a huge number of people who do not want to serve continue to leave. now the law itself, the law is needed, it still sets limits on how many servicemen should be in the army, this is positive, but these the limits are too long, 36 months, but at least some , at the same time, he introduces a lot of restrictive measures according to a strange principle, for example, bep employees

cannot serve in our country, and although these are almost ukrainianized formations, they are... the economic security service, and the prosecutor subs can be called up at any time, or all fops must register their vehicles, or in general all citizens must register in the military registers in a short period of time, which is generally correct, but let’s ask ourselves whether it can be done in a month or two, and these are men and ladies, imagine the queues and what will be done there, now imagine that we will take away ... ports or not extend them or limit the validity of the cards of those who went abroad and did not return, they will not return anyway , but they will renounce ukrainian citizenship, and in this way we will lose a huge number of people. thus, it must be stated that there are many positive novelties in this law, well , for example, this is a single base, we once adopted a law in the first reading on a single military

register, or will it be built in a different way, but such a register is needed, but these punitive methods, which sometimes... when they come out or contradict the constitution, they are obviously wrong, so we can say for sure that a lot of work will have to be done on the law, but realizing the fact that if we do not carry out a high-quality mobilization, then we have a chance to simply all be captured by the enemy, our state has a chance to be destroyed, and there is no need to be afraid, the worst thing is that the president says that it is not his responsibility, yes, a this is actually the responsibility of the government and the president, who are the supreme commanders and not one minister of defense, but the prime minister and the president should go out and report on this project, but they don't want it, they want it to be either only the minister of defense, where his responsibility is not so great, because there the ministry of economy is also involved, what will happen to our economy, the rest are all the ministry of justice, other branches, or the general staff, which is really just the customer in this, and the president and the chairman should normally come out of the cabinet of ministers, by the way, the president

says that the bill on changes in mobilization should be... let's listen to what zelensky said. it would be correct for such norms to be discussed and adopted not behind the scenes, but in such a way that people understand what the vision of the military command is, what are the motives behind certain rules and conditions, what the deputies propose and how to solve these issues, which our soldiers already have in the defense forces. the law is something that concerns everyone, everyone... it would be right for the state to, on the basis of the committee of the verkhovna rada the military of the council of ukraine, together with the deputies , determined how the next year should be provided for our defense forces at the legislative level. you are right, mr. mykola , when you say that the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine would have his own vision, or at least tell

how he sees how this mobilization should take place, because it looks like there are military personnel, there are deputies who must make these changes or decisions at the legislative level to ensure that next year, as he says, for our defense forces, and the position of supreme the commander-in-chief is not there, because at his last press conference, which took place literally a week ago, the commander -in-chief said that they told me at the pond that we need to mobilize 500,000 there, and suddenly there is information from the lieutenant that 500,000 - this is not for a year. but this is during the year and not directly in the spring, and that this is a mobilization resource, which is necessary in any case, whether this bill will be adopted or not, because the question is still about finances. and also answers to whether these 500 billion will be for there are no hryvnias for the mobilization of these 500,000 ukrainians either. how do you assess the role

of the commander-in-chief, and how is he now acting in the role of whom? well , you see, it seems to me that a lot of politicians continue to think in terms of political categories, thinking about the election and about their rating, this is very harmful, because what should the supreme leader do, by the way, i do not agree with the honorable mr. president. when he says that it is necessary for all this to be discussed publicly, no, i think that he should assemble either a military cabinet or invite representatives of the cabinet ministers, representatives of the general staff and sit together, representatives of the specialized committee of the verkhovna rada, to work out a project that would suit everyone, and then the president or the prime minister should present a consolidated such project, thought out, logical, discussed, and not taken raw the project, everyone criticizes it, everyone... as i already said, like potatoes are transferred from department to department and the president, unfortunately , he should also be a leader, leadership is needed here, because well, every responsible person understands that mobilization is necessary, unfortunately, it

is very unfortunate, but it is also necessary to understand that those people who went abroad, that we should not frighten them now, force them to deprive them of ukrainian citizenship, take away their passports, block their cards, because they they will never return, but we are interested in returning them, let's fight corruption at the borders, when in... according to the system there is a way and according to other systems, we know who allowed all these departures, these people were punished somewhere, someone sees when we read there, then some deputies left and did not return, then officials left and did not return, then some young people left and did not return, and so it turns out that, unfortunately, we scare all these people, we use them, this law is still the way it is written, is unconstitutional, it will not be effective, because it is very important that it be effective, at the same time there are other people who say that let's not talk about it, let's forget about mobilization, let others accept it, and we will criticize them, then again it turns out that some take responsibility and think how to protect homeland, and others see only bad things in this law, the president should be

the unifying leader of this whole process, and try to develop a joint project to pass it and protect it, it would then be much better than the one that is submitted now, where the authorship is anonymous of the cabinet of ministers, whether or not the general staff participated in its development is unclear, many say that it did, even the lawyers of the general staff developed it. er, the general staff says that it has nothing to do with it, and it is logical, because they are the customers, in a word, the situation is completely incomprehensible, and the law is needed. can this draft law, which will become law in the future, cause a wave of indignation among the people. of course, during a war, protest actions are impossible, because there is a state of war, and in principle, this is playing into the hands of the enemy, but taking into account the provisions of the draft law that are currently contained. to what extent do you think they are critical for people, for different categories of people who can say: listen, come on, we are not against mobilization, but let's not be without these

draconian methods, when there is a fine of 34 , 51 thousand for appearing on a commission, a military medical commission, we take away from suitable, unsuitable, limited suitable, that is, all practically 90% of men will all be suitable, it is also clear. this also raises a lot of questions from those people who have a disability or who cannot go because of their health, whether this will cause some kind of indignation, or the lack of this communication and explanation of what kind of bill this is or what the law, and how it will be applied, whether it will cause any waves, popular waves, let's say this , well, imagine that you are a 40-year-old or 45-year-old female fop, and they tell you... if you do not register with the tsc in a month, then you will not be able to perform any operations, and your accounts will be blocked, and when you register , put your car on the register, maybe it

will be needed for the army, you come, you even want to do it, come, and there is a long queue and there is an appointment for 10 days in advance, and there is a big the risk that you won't do it, because the terms proposed by the law are simply unrealistic, which, how, well, what you'll feel, you'll be willing to give any money to escape this lawless country and... forget about it before it all starts to work, that's why it's here, i don't think there's going to be any outcry, man , unfortunately, the indignation for many will come to nothing, people will simply flee the country, and this cannot be assumed, because the president answered at his press conferences that he would like all ukrainians to return, and such actions can scare ukrainians, or will perform, whether it will be good for the army, or really carried out there will be mobilization then, no, because mobilization must be encouraged, financially encouraged, you need to... pay money for it, you need effective recruiting, because there are really many specialties in the army where people could go, there, if you are a computer scientist, you can be a computer guy, if you are

a cool driver there, you can be. a driver, regardless of what was written in your old military specialty, if it is well paid and it is explained correctly, then people will go, and there are brigades that conduct recruitment independently and people to them are recorded, and when there is no such explanation, on the one hand, and on the other hand, they scare you and set impossible conditions, even to be registered, then this discredits the state itself, there is a great danger in this, and therefore this process must be approached extremely professionally , carefully, so as to encourage... to go to the army and so as not to bend the stick and those people who are not needed there anyway or will not go, not to be driven out of the country, and this is the responsibility, first of all, of the commander-in-chief and heads of the cabinet of ministers, this is their direct responsibility, you have seen at least one speech by shmygal on this matter, well, excuse me, when we say that there are not enough funds and the minister of finance comes out, the minister of finance can say that there are not enough funds, but some other minister can say the opposite, we expect large

revenues there , the head of the tax... will say, and someone else will say something else, and the minister of health will say that we will not have enough hospitals there if there are so many people, and the minister of defense will say that we will not buy weapons for such a number people we can call on, because we don't have a budget either, we don't have a budget for this, and that's why this is a question first of all for the minister of justice, or rather the minister of finance and most importantly the prime minister, and they should report on this and explain to society, we see them, no and... in this is of course a problem, so we need to sit down together, work out an effective law, not create waves in society, not drive people out of the country, and still ensure that those guys who left on the first day of a full-scale invasion have the opportunity to return home at least one day, because these people also need to be understood, they are a million people, after all, there are currently somewhere in the ukrainian armed forces, mr. mykola, it has already been announced that this bill will be considered in the verkhovna rada on january 10, from the 10th

to the 14th. you are already in your faction discussed this bill, is there any position, or will this position be formed closer to the consideration of this, to the first reading of this bill? well, look, first of all, the position of the committee must be formed first, there must be a position of the cabinet of ministers, because despite what they submitted this project, there will obviously be amendments to it, everyone must understand very well that on january 10, no draft law will be adopted, because in order to adopt it. it must be adopted in the first reading, then completely reworked, rewritten, as it usually happens with many draft laws, this will have to be done and already then a decision must be made, uh, how to act in this situation, it is obvious that the idea of ​​the project is the right mobilization is needed, it is obvious that it is written terribly and inefficiently, and it should be made into an effective project that would stimulate people to go to the army, and did not scare those who should not appear there at all. thank you
