Chairman of Ukrainian Parliamentary Committee proposes to raffle off conscripts reservations
Representative of the Servant of the People party, said that such an approach would be fair and compared it to the practice used in the United States in an interview with the Times of Ukraine on May 22.
“I would use the example of the United States, where conscription is based on certain dates of birth, determined by a random ‘lottery’," he said.
"And those people who were born on that date were drafted. Regardless of their profession or occupation. Then it would be fair."
Hetmantsev added that the system of 100% reservation by profession will not be applied, in particular for IT professionals.
In his opinion, lottery will ensure a fair distribution of mobilization burden among all men, regardless of their profession or other circumstances.
