Minister of Justice Denis Maluska stated this on air at a national telethon, the RBC-Ukraine agency reports.
I think that next week it will be registered, and at the next meeting of the Council it will be voted on in the first reading and in the second in the same way. I expect it to be in the spring, no later,” Maluska noted.
According to him, there are thousands of prisoners and convicts who are ready to become military personnel and become full members of the Defense Forces.
The military asked that we exclude from possible mobilization those who violated military discipline and committed crimes during the performance of military duty,” the minister noted. “They also don’t want to see those who committed crimes against the state. Therefore, such categories will probably not be mobilized.
Maluska noted that he does not expect the consideration of the bill in parliament to be delayed, since, according to him, he has not met a single deputy who would be against it.
Not all military commanders are ready to take convicts and prisoners, but we will not and do not plan to impose such convicts on anyone. Most likely, these will be separate detachments, the minister added.
