253 people’s representatives voted for the corresponding decision. People’s Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak reported this on his Telegram channel.
According to the law, during martial law, military personnel who for the first time left military units or places of service without permission or deserted and voluntarily arrived at the place of service and expressed their readiness to continue military service:
- military service and contract continues;
- payments of cash and food, clothing, and other types of security, benefits and guarantees are being resumed.
The law also provides that criminal proceedings have been initiated in relation to criminal offenses under Art. 407 and art. 408 of the Criminal Code, in relation to military personnel who for the first time voluntarily left military units or places of service or deserted and voluntarily arrived and expressed their readiness to continue military service, is not a basis for refusing to extend their military service and the validity of their contract.
