“For example, I suggested: if you establish by law which categories of Ukrainian citizens can be mobilized, wouldn’t it make sense to extend the obligation to those serving sentences in correctional institutions? I know, how it works. “It’s very simple,” said Lubinets in an interview with the Ukrainian news portal NV, describing how the discussion on this issue took place in the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence issues. The meeting, which the media is now reporting on, took place on January 4th.
According to Lubinka, the hiring of prisoners would be possible under two conditions: they would have to be Ukrainian citizens who would report to certain units, and these units would have to explicitly agree to their admission. This would take responsibility for them.
“So fight alone,” the general urged the deputies
The idea of conscripting people with criminal records or prisoners directly into the army was criticized by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, General Valery Zaluzhnyi, as he wrote on the NV portal, citing an informed source.
“Is the army for bad people? “It’s not like that,” the head of the Ukrainian army was supposed to argue, according to the media. Nevertheless, Zaluzhny stressed that he needs new people because “the Russians have already called up 400,000 and are preparing several hundred thousand more for June.”
“Who should I send to fight? Or should I turn to the world and beg for people? Or go fight if you don’t provide (enough reinforcements),” Zaluzhny urged those present. “Every goalkeeper has 80 training days. But give me these people,” he appealed to the MP.
According to Reserve Colonel Oleh Ždanov’s statement for Unian, “it is always necessary to think about whether the convict would be useful to the army, whether he has combat experience and how serious the crime he committed is.” In his opinion, it is necessary This must be taken into account so that murderers, rapists and recidivists do not end up in the Ukrainian army and the Ukrainian army does not then face the same problem as the armed forces in Russia.
Zaluzhny spoke out against the participation of prisoners and convicts in the army, media reports on the meeting of the council committee on the draft mobilization law.
He also said: “I need people, the Russians have already called up 400,000 and for June they are preparing several hundred thousand more, up to 400,000.” pic.twitter.com/l5jNJXE17z
