President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that if a peace agreement is signed between Ukraine, the US, Russia, and Europe, mobilisation could be cancelled or only carried out partially.

Quote: "Mobilisation can be changed or not carried out if there is an agreement and it is implemented, or perhaps carried out partially where people could be partially demobilised."

Details: Zelenskyy also said that the most important thing is not to lose the army for a certain period of time, not to lose positions. "This is very dangerous," he believes.

Explaining why it is impossible to hold parliamentary and local elections quickly, Zelenskyy said that after the agreement is signed, it would not be possible to cancel martial law immediately – it could continue for several more months.

Background:

  • Zelenskyy has for the first time publicly presented the draft of a 20-point document on ending the war, which he described as a framework or "basic document" between Ukraine, the US, Europe and Russia.
  • In particular, the 20th point of the draft peace agreement stipulates that once all parties approve the agreement, a complete ceasefire will immediately come into effect.
  • In addition to the draft peace agreement, other documents necessary to end the war have also been drafted, Zelenskyy said. This includes a multilateral security guarantee framework for Ukraine, which is a trilateral document between Ukraine, the US, and Europe. There is also a security guarantee framework for Ukraine from the US, which is a bilateral document. In addition, Ukraine and the US have drafted a document on recovery and economic development called the Roadmap for Ukraine's Prosperity.
