Ukraine to demobilize conscripts after their service terms end — Danilov

Danilov reported that the Nov. 24 meeting of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief focused on this issue.

“As for the mobilization of people who have undergone conscript service, the President [Volodymyr Zelenskyy] has requested—and the military has agreed—that these individuals will be demobilized soon,” said Danilov.

However, the official did not provide a timetable for when this process will begin.

According to the NSDC secretary, conscripts whose service has ended but wish to remain in the military can do so by signing a contract, while others will be demobilized.

On Nov. 22, David Arakhamia, the head of the ruling Servant of the People parliamentary faction, said that the Verkhovna Rada might adopt a comprehensive legislative bill by the new year to regulate certain issues of mobilization and demobilization.

On November 12, in Kyiv's Independence Square, roughly a hundred individuals—mostly wives and mothers of military personnel who have been on the frontlines since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion—demanded replacements for those who have been continuously fighting for a long time. They collected signatures for a petition demanding an option to demobilize military service members who have been serving for over 18 months.
