The head of the Servant of the People faction in parliament, David Arakhamia, proposes to organize military exercises for all civil servants and people's deputies.
They should undergo them on common terms with others Ukrainians, but for deputies this will not be full-time training. He said this during the discussion “2024: scenarios for the country”, organized by LB.ua and EFI Group as part of the “New Country” project.
According to the parliamentarian, this can motivate Ukrainians not to be afraid of mobilization and undergo training.
Arakhamia says that it is necessary to explain to Ukrainians exactly how mobilization occurs, since many people think that after receiving the summons and passing VLK is immediately sent to a “training school” where there is not enough training, then immediately to the front.
In order to explain to Ukrainians how everything really happens, Arakhamia suggests that officials undergo training in military training centers together with other Ukrainians. According to him, training for parliamentarians will be partial. Let us note that the people's representatives are reserved from mobilization.
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) adopted a resolution on the situation of children in Ukraine, said member of the permanent delegation of the Verkhovna Rada to PACE Evgenia Kravchuk.
“PACE only unanimously adopted a resolution on the situation of children in Ukraine – 85 votes in favor! Compared to Resolution 2495 (2023), which the Assembly adopted last April, today’s document contains additional provisions in the protection of Ukrainian children. It is important that the document restored the provision that that the deportation of children from Ukraine constitutes war crimes, crimes against humanity and contains signs of genocide,” Kravchuk wrote.
She noted that special attention is paid to supporting IDPs: the Assembly calls on Member States to strengthen political support and support for humanitarian organizations to protect internally displaced children.
The resolution supported the “Bring Kids Back UA” initiative and the creation of the International Coalition of Countries for the Return of Ukrainian Children, and also welcomed the creation of the Center for the Protection of Child Rights , which works under the supervision of the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for Human Rights. What the Assembly called for is in the news. website. We hope that tomorrow there will be more good news.
Let's hold on and bring Victory closer!
