Parliament’s speaker explains what is happening with draft law on mobilisation
Pravda Ukraine
Ruslan Stefanchuk, speaker of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament), says that a “big discussion” is currently taking place in parliament on the draft law on improving mobilisation. He says that the second reading may take place no earlier than 21 February.

Quote: “The Verkhovna Rada has 14 days between the first and second readings so that MPs can submit their amendments. There is a big discussion now…then it will be finalised in the committee as soon as the committee is ready (the draft law will be submitted for the second reading – ed.).
But it will still be no earlier than 21 February, because that is the last day to submit amendments to this draft law. Given the wide range of these amendments, I think it will take some time for the committee to take these amendments into account or not.”
