The Verkhovna Rada exempted conscripts from mobilization for a year.
A total of 319 MPs voted for the bill 11035 with the minimum required 226, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
According to it, conscripts whose term of service has expired during martial law and whose military service has been extended beyond the established terms are dismissed from military service to the reserve within the terms determined by the Presidential decree.
Conscripts cannot be called up for military service during mobilization within twelve months from the date of dismissal from military service to the reserve, if they have not expressed a desire to continue military service.
The explanatory note states that the implementation of the bill will provide an opportunity to dismiss to the reserve servicemen who have served the established terms of fixed-term military service.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the Main Scientific and Expert Department of the Verkhovna Rada apparatus believes that the basic military service proposed in the bill on mobilization is practically no different in its essence from conscript military service.
On December 26, 2023, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine appealed to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine with a request to dismiss conscripts, as they are no longer needed.
