Commander-in-Chief of Ukrainian Armed Forces Valeriy Zaluzhnyi supported corresponding amendments to Ukrainian legislation.
It was informed by Censor.NЕТ.
"I support the corresponding amendments to the legislation. My opinion clearly reflects the position of the group commanders and military units who demanded a systematic solution to this complex of issues.
The army is disciplined. And if the gaps in the legislation do not ensure its observance, and the "refusers" can pay a fine of up to ten percent of combat pay, or receive a punishment with probation, it is unfair.
Moreover, and this is the key point, other servicemen have to cover the exposed areas of the frontline, which leads to an increase in losses of personnel, territories and civilians on them.
Can this problem be solved in a softer way? Explain, persuade...
Yes, if we are talking about peacetime. In wartime, we need quick and effective solutions," noted the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
