Announcement of legislative changes

Ukraine's Prime Minister Koretskyi announced the government's intention to strengthen penalties for desertion (unauthorised leaving of a military unit) and evasion of mobilisation. The head of government noted that the relevant bill will be finalised in the near future.

Explanation from the head of government

«Щодо тих, хто в СЗЧ або ховається. Найближчим часом буде доопрацьовано законопроект, який уже давно перебуває в Раді, і відповідальність за такі дії посилять» (Regarding those who are deserting or hiding. A bill that has been in the Council for a long time will be finalised shortly, and liability for such actions will be strengthened), Koretskyi stated.

He did not provide more detailed information. It is worth noting that desertion is already classified as a criminal offence in Ukraine.
