MP Oleksandr Fedienko stated that the government has not yet developed a clear mechanism for 100% reservation of employees of enterprises in exchange for attracting employees to the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The politician reached this conclusion based on the response to his official request to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
According to the parliamentarian, the reason for the appeal was the public statements of the Prime Minister about the creation of a new tool for staffing the Defense Forces. However, the Ministry of Defense responded that the organizational and legal framework, conditions for business participation and the booking procedure are still being worked out, and the final model will be determined later. Separately, the department emphasized that the involvement of citizens in the service should be exclusively voluntary.
Fedienko emphasized that he supports the search for new solutions for the army, but business should know the rules of the game before making commitments.
"100% reservation in exchange for attracting employees to the army. A good idea. But how will it work in practice? The rules of reservation have already been played out. Simple questions need to be clearly answered: who and how will attract employees, for what period, who will determine the military unit, and who will guarantee the preservation of the workplace. You cannot first publicly announce a new mechanism, create expectations in business, and then figure out how it should work," the People's Deputy emphasized .
The MP added that now society is not waiting for political statements or promises, but for a specific regulatory document with clear rules and guarantees for both employees and enterprises.
