Deserters and Voluntary Prisoners of War to Be Excluded From Ukraine's Armed Forces
New law strengthens responsibility of military personnel.
Today, October 20, Law No. 1227, which provides for stronger liability for servicemen for desertion, has entered into force in Ukraine.
The law provides for the exclusion from the Armed Forces of Ukraine of servicemen who left their posts without permission or voluntarily surrendered into captivity.
At the same time, if a court acquits a serviceman, he will be reinstated with all forms of allowances and corresponding social protection guarantees.
One of the initiators of the law was Ukrainian Armed Forces major and Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) veteran Ihor Herasymenko, now a People's Deputy from the Servant of the People faction.
