The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky submitted to the Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian Parliament) a draft law on changing the terms of conscript military service. Draft law No. 11035 is registered on the website of the Parliament.
The draft law proposes to normalize the possibility of release into the reserve of conscripts who have served the established terms of conscript military service during martial law. The document was sent to the profile committee for consideration, and its text is currently unavailable.
- On February 7, 2024, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the updated draft law on mobilization in the first reading. The draft law will be amended before the second reading, but it proposes to abolish conscription and introduce basic military training for five months instead.
