It's too early to discuss demobilization; the priority is the rotation within the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to Fedor Venislavsky.

Member of the Defense Committee of the Verkhovna Rada Fedor Venislavsky stated that the draft law on demobilization will not be considered in the Verkhovna Rada in the short term, and there are no grounds to expect its adoption anytime soon.

In an interview with Radio NV, he emphasized that the current priority is to ensure rotation within the Armed Forces of Ukraine, particularly allowing military personnel who are in combat zones to rest. According to Venislavsky, the issue of demobilization is being discussed in closed meetings with the leadership of the Armed Forces, General Staff, and the Ministry of Defense; however, due to the escalation of the situation at the front, implementing this idea has become "less realistic."

“The rotational method of providing an opportunity to rest for several months for servicemen who are directly involved in combat operations is, at this moment, what needs to be done,” the MP noted.

Venislavsky also commented on proposals from deputies to include a provision on demobilization in the draft law, which was ultimately withdrawn at the request of the Cabinet. “During a full-scale war, promising that there will be mass dismissals from military service is, to put it mildly, very inconsistent with the interests of national security and defense. I do not believe that there are grounds to expect a law that would provide for mass dismissals of servicemen in the near future,” he emphasized.

The deputy concluded that until the situation at the front stabilizes, the issue of demobilization is not on the agenda, and in the next three to four months, it is expected that this draft law will not be adopted.

Earlier, it was reported that the Ministry of Defense is preparing a draft law on the conditions for demobilization.
