“Business asks the parliament not to paralyze the country’s economy with the new mobilization law. There is a need for a balance between the military front and the economy,” said a statement from the European Business Association, cited by the agency.

The Ukrainian Business Council, which unites more than 100 associations, said in a statement that some criticisms were taken into account, but called for the withdrawal of other proposals that could harm businesses operating in ” survival” mode.

In particular, businesses oppose things like allowing the military to seize private vehicles for military use without proper oversight, as well as the idea of ​​sending subpoenas over the Internet. In addition, companies that supply weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces must prevent all of their employees from being drafted into military service.

Business associations in Ukraine are calling on the authorities to create a more transparent and understandable mechanism for granting conscription deferments for critical workers, especially in highly skilled industries.

According to the head of the IT association, Maria Shevchuk, of the 360 ​​thousand workers in the IT sector, which is the main export sector of Ukraine, only about 1% have deferment from conscription in the army. Moreover, about 75% of the workforce in the industry are men.

“We continue to urge the authorities to talk to business so that we can be heard. We can build, pay more taxes, give for the army, because now there are problems with donor support in general,” said Shevchuk .

We remind you that on February 7, the Verkhovna Rada adopted in the first reading a bill on strengthening mobilization in Ukraine. This decision was supported by 243 representatives of the people.

It was also learned that the draft law on mobilization received more than 2,500 amendments. Therefore, consideration of the document in parliament this week is unlikely to take place.
