Verkhovna Rada Committee rejects sending of electronic summonses and mandatory introduction of electronic office for conscripts - Friz
Currently, the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security and Defence is actively working on reviewing amendments to the draft law on mobilisation. Fines are envisaged for evading mobilisation.
This was reported by MP from the European Solidarity party Iryna Friz, Censor.NET reports citing TSN.
Freese notes that the government's draft law provides for an increase in fines for evading mobilisation, but the exact amount has not yet been determined. The fines could reach 100,000 hryvnias or more.
The MP said that the committee had so far rejected the possibility of influencing the evaders by banning them from driving, freezing their bank accounts or restricting their travels.
The parliamentary committee also spoke out against the mandatory use of an electronic cabinet for those liable for military service, allowing citizens aged 18 to 60 to update their data independently through various channels, including an electronic cabinet, in the event of martial law. Iryna Friz noted that this decision was an alternative, not a requirement, and reported that the idea of electronic summonses had been rejected.
She also said that on 19 March, a rule was adopted that obliges district administrations to inform small communities, which exempts starostas from personally handing out summonses.
Fries said that the provisions on the confiscation of vehicles from companies had been amended, setting out clear criteria and restrictions for such measures.
The committee is currently working on amendments to the draft law and plans to further improve it. Fries expressed hope that the bill will be ready for a second reading in parliament in the coming weeks.
She stressed the importance of training, motivation and changes in information policy for effective mobilisation, as well as the need to provide adequate resources. According to her, if these conditions are met, mobilisation will not cause concern among the population.
