Ruslan Stefanchuk, speaker of Ukraine’s parliament, warns against adopting a demobilization law now, drawing parallels to a past mistake during the Ukrainian People’s Republic in 1918. Ukrainian soldiers have been serving without breaks for three years since Russia’s invasion in 2022.
Stefanchuk emphasizes the importance of not repeating historical mistakes and highlights the need for privileges for soldiers on the front line. However, there are ongoing discussions on demobilization grounds and the development of a new law specifically addressing rotation and demobilization.
