Quote: "Our team has already prepared a new version of the draft law, taking into account all the proposals agreed in working order with MPs at meetings of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Intelligence.

We are ready to submit it to the government for approval in the near future. The previous version of the draft law has been withdrawn.

This law is necessary for the defence of our country and for every soldier who is now at the contact line. We need it as soon as possible."

Details: Umerov confirmed that after the draft law was registered in parliament, the team of the Ministry of Defence, Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi and Chief of the General Staff Serhii Shaptala took part in discussions and closed meetings to explain the need for this decision.

According to Umierov, the Ministry of Defence "heard and took into account all the warnings". He cites the messages that were heard and that he wants to incorporate into the new law, but does not specify how this will be done.

Quote: "Soldiers should be given the opportunity to rest. This is fair.

Those released from captivity should be given a choice about whether to stay in the army. Those who choose to stay will need at least a few months of leave. This is fair.

Conscripts should finally be allowed to go home. This is the right thing to do.

Now the issues of mobilisation, military registration and rotations, which are critically important for the state, are being politicised and slowed down. This is unacceptable in times of great war."
