Mobilization in Ukraine: The Council proposes to relieve age restrictions for conscription
If the stipulated changes are made to the Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service", men over 60 will have the opportunity to mobilize. The servicemen of the ordinary, sergeant and officers, junior and senior officers will rise from 60 to 65 years, for senior military leadership - from 65 to 70 years.
Key criteria for calling men over 60 years of age: "At the beginning of a full -scale invasion, a large number of servicemen who were motivated and suitable for health reasons, had sufficient physical training and military training, mobilized at an age close to the limit. Some of them. have already reached the age. In addition, a considerable number of these persons have the desire to mobilize.
During this time, there are already appeal to the court of this category - It is in the explanatory note to the law. In addition, persons who have reached the age for military service in accordance with the current legislation will be able to serve without restrictions on age and deadline. The parliamentarians who have submitted this bill emphasized that such an alleged inability of persons older than 60 years can be called discrimination by age, that is, Eijism.
We will remind, Focus wrote that the secretary of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence Roman Kostenko warned that mobilization in Ukraine could intensify, and one of the reasons is a wave of new mobilization that has emerged in Russia. In addition, Focus reported that the grounds for recognizing unfit for service have become much less - part of illnesses that meant unsuitable, now mean limited suitability for military service.
