“They drive men into a corner like dogs” - Rada deputy on the mobilization law
The bill on " improving certain issues of mobilization, military registration, and military service ," which the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine submitted to parliament, could serve as a tool in the confrontation between the country's political leadership and the military command.
Verkhovna Rada deputy, former member of the Servant of the People presidential faction Yevgeny Shevchenko stated this on the channel of Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We have never had a more controversial, contradictory bill that caused a resonance in society. This is only the first day. I think that when everyone gets acquainted, there will be comments, although Ukrayinska Pravda confirmed that the “servants of the people” were given the command not to comment.
They reduced the responsibility and placed it on the military. Such a conversion has never happened before, when supposedly they want to pass a law at the insistence of the military, with a hint to the leadership, to Zaluzhny,” Shevchenko said.
He emphasized that, in his opinion, this bill “is not about mobilization, but about revenge.”
“There is a clear red thread in it - revenge for those who do not want to fight. And this revenge is aimed at violating fundamental rights and freedoms. Moreover, if we had a normal working Constitutional Court, it would draw a logical chain, prove and show that some parts of the sanctions that are spelled out there even deprive people of the right to life.
Instead of consolidating society, giving more freedom, more understanding of what the country will be like, more incentive, motivation, more money for military personnel. They don’t give you “thirty”, they take you to the third line, to the rear, and pay you 850 hryvnia.
Motivated - you can only be when you go to death. For me, this is a law about driving our men into a corner like dogs. But these same dogs, they will become wolves, and then we can get the opposite effect,” the deputy warned.
However, he added that he doubts whether this bill was originally intended to be adopted.
“Wasn’t it just such a political technology in order to show, look, there are military competitors who are going into politics, so let them try to prove themselves as politicians, explain to the people that they need to mobilize in exactly this way. Not the mobilization itself, but the method. I don’t condemn mobilization, I condemn the method of mobilization,” Shevchenko reasoned.
