People’s Deputy from Servant of the People Roman Grischuk wrote about this on his social networks.
Now this amendment should be considered by the relevant committee on national defense.
After the meeting, People’s Deputy Yulia Grishina provided the Voice of Ukraine with a commentary on the results of the consideration.
It was actually decided that the Committee would make two amendments.
The first concerns the most resonant norm about graduate students. The point is that all graduate students who study both for state funds and for the funds of legal entities and individuals will all have a deferment from mobilization. In the first reading of this bill, a rule was adopted that provided that contract graduate students would not have the right to a deferment. The Education Committee proposed making equal rights for both state employees and contract employees undergoing graduate studies.
And regarding the second amendment: now the mobilization bill provides for a deferment only for scientific, pedagogical and scientific workers. The Education Committee proposes to add to this list also teachers working in various educational institutions in Ukraine,” Grishina said.
Let us remind you that the discussion of the bill, which the Rada adopted in the first reading in early February, without taking into account the amendments of the committees, is ongoing.
“Rakurs” wrote that a suspended sentence will not save someone evading mobilization. Deputy Chairman of the National Police of Ukraine, head of the Main Investigation Department Maxim Tsutskiridze noted on February 12 that “a suspended sentence means that if a person does the same thing again, then there will be a real sentence.”
In his opinion, when choosing the conditions for serving such a sentence, the court is guided by the fact that the evader is a potential military member of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And he makes a decision in such a way that there is an opportunity to serve. For example, without restricting movement.
The presence of a pre-trial investigation, even suspicion, is not a reason not to serve,” Tsutskiridze said.
