On December 25, the Cabinet of Ministers introduced a bill on mobilization to the Rada, which in particular provides for lowering the minimum conscription age for mobilization from 27 years to 25 years, abolishing the exemption from mobilization for persons with disabilities of the 3rd group, abolishing the postponement from mobilization for those receiving a second higher education.
Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets said that the mobilization bill contains a number of norms that directly contradict the Constitution of Ukraine.
