18-year-old men will not be mobilized. How military training will take place for those aged up to 25 years

The Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence has retained the norm on non-conscription of men from 18 up to 25 years in the mobilization bill.

A member of the committee, an MP from the European Solidarity faction Iryna Friz announced this on her Facebook page, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

“The committee upheld the norm proposed by the MoD (Ministry of Defense) regarding non-conscription during martial law of persons 18-24 years old,” she said.

According to the adopted version of the bill, men, at their own request, can choose the term of basic military service: during martial law 3 months, peacetime – 5 months.

The passage of basic military service provides for the receipt of a military accounting specialty and the transition from the status of a conscript to the status of a person liable for military service, with the subsequent possibility of being mobilized during martial law.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence on Tuesday, March 12, began to review amendments to the bill on mobilization.

The National Security Committee supported the amendment to exclude from the bill on mobilization the norm on blocking the accounts of evaders and banning them from driving vehicles.

  1. If the fucking US of A would send tons of highly advanced weapons, less young men would be wasted. Shells are not Apache, F-5, F-16 or Taurus. 😡😤

    • And let’s not get started about Tomahawk cruise missiles, until the Ukraine war the most successful weapon of its kind (now the first place goes to Storm Shadow / Scalp). But such a delivery is out of the question. Because:

      What? The? Fuck?!? 😠

      • “Tomahawk cruise missiles”

        How would Ukraine launch them if they had them? Aren’t they launched from ships and submarines?

        “Washington ‘Does Not Encourage or Support’ Ukraine’s Strike Inside Russia”

        That’s been the US stance all along. That hasn’t prevented the US from providing weapons if Ukraine promises to only use them on its territory. (And the temporarily occupied peninsula of Ukraine is, of course, Ukraine’s territory.)
