People's Deputy from "European Solidarity" Alexei Goncharenko criticized the adopted law, calling it "fiction. " He stated that the control would remain in the hands of the President, who would appoint and release the military. The initiator of the Law No. 13266, as is known from his card on the parliamentary portal, was President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. On the day of registration was defined as urgent.

The explanatory note states that the purpose is to create an additional effective mechanism to protect the rights of the military. Its activities will supplement the tools that already exist. The new official will control that the governing and command bodies are abused: the military Ombudsman will be appointed by the President for five years, one person will not be able to occupy the position for more than two periods.

In order to apply for a position, it will be necessary to meet a number of conditions: a military serviceman, a member of a political party, a debtor by alimony or a person sentenced to corruption will not be able to be a military. Candidates will undergo a special check and submit a declaration. Soldiers will be able to file complaints, which will have the right to appoint inspections or one of his deputies.

Also, the reason for the verification will be information from the address of people's deputies or media materials, reported. As a result of the audit, they will conclude with all the circumstances of the incident. After approval, he will be sent to the commander who has the authority to punish the offender of the military. Every year, the Ombudsman will report to the President, and the report will be published on the official website.

We will remind, the Verkhovna Rada supported in the first reading the bill on criminal responsibility for the HCP, which was criticized by activists. The Defense Ministry assured that on September 6, it will not be possible to strengthen responsibility in its current version. In August, the people's deputies voted in favor of the Law "On the Principles of State Policy of the National Memory of the Ukrainian People", which regulates the order of renaming.
