The issue of troop demobilization will now be considered in a separate bill, UP writes.
According to the report, the amendments were made upon request from Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi.
The publication cited a letter from Syrskyi to Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, which describes a "need for urgent legislative changes concerning the improvement of military service and mobilization."
“Some provisions of the bill, considering a significant number of deputies' amendments, require more detailed analysis and additional study,” the letter says.
“Given this, it is proposed that the issues of grounds for demobilization from military service, as well as legislating military personnel rotation, be regulated separately through another bill.”
These changes were reportedly discussed at a Cabinet meeting earlier on April 9. The government is expected to present a separate bill on demobilization and rotation of troops at some point in the future.
Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko confirmed that demobilization provisions have been struck from the bill, although the document is still being worked on by the Defense Committee.
On April 6, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the parliament to vote on the mobilization reform bill in the coming days. According to some Ukrainian MPs, it could be put to a final vote by April 11.
