"War costs": economic booking will not break the mobilization in Ukraine - People's Deputy (video)

What it means and whether the reservation for the money is to break the mobilization process, the deputy explained on the air of the TV channel "Kiev 24. news". Natalukha noted that this is not news because they are already being talked about from the end of January 2024. He added that the amount of the proposed military levy is 20 thousand hryvnias for each booked person, so it is unlikely "First, every enterprise, every organization has almost 50% of the military.

Second, business will interfere with its operating expenditures," the parliamentarian explained. As for the model of economic reservation developed by the deputy group, it contains a system of balances, a system of restraint. And as the Chairman of the Committee noted, it was repeatedly discussed with the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense, "repeat again: this model is intended to finance mobilization, demobilization and rotation, rather than disrupt these processes or make it impossible.

Promotion of populist narratives regarding that only the poor will go to fight, and the rich - no, do not take into account the fact that today the war is worth money, "Natalukha emphasized. He added that this money can now be found by increasing military collection from Ukrainian business, which is thus retaining the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Recall that today there are two models of economic reservation. As Natalukha explained, one model was born in the President's office, and this is 35,000.

"Another model is the one we work with the team. It is a model for paying additional military fees for each booked person, regardless of his position, salary or any other criteria," the People's Deputy said. According to Natalukha, these two basic models differ in that in the first model it will not extend to an individual - entrepreneurs.

In addition, there is only part of the money, since it is a salary, so at least a third of the money will go to the local budget, not directly to the Armed Forces. "As for our model, I think that by the end of this month the corresponding bill in the Verkhovna Rada will be registered. By the way, it will not relate to the mobilization bill," Natalukha said.

He emphasized that the philosophy of the Model of the Parliamentary Committee is that economic booking will just contribute to the financing of this mobilization, and therefore will accelerate both rotation and demobilization of fighters. "Our goal is just the accumulation and mobilization of finances and financial resources, specifically at the Armed Forces.

That is why we want to go because of increasing the amount of payment of military fees in order for this money to go exclusively on the Armed Forces, no local budgets or on any funds Others, specifically on the armed forces, "the deputy said. In addition, according to Natalukha, the deputy model provides the possibility of booking individuals-entrepreneurs.
