“I was sincerely convinced that this (punishment of draft dodgers who left – ed.) was possible. Then, when the discussion began, I realized that in this way we can not only stimulate the return – we can cut off the desire to return to Ukraine altogether“, said the people’s deputy.
According to him, in Ukraine after the war it is necessary to ensure the preservation of the nation, so punishment may have the opposite effect.
Venislavsky also added that there are separate disputes about those liable for military service who entered universities as full-time students because of the “sensitivity of the issue.”
“Of course, there are a significant number of men aged forty to fifty years old who suddenly expressed a desire to receive higher education… This is an obvious form for me, as a lawyer, to avoid conscription for mobilization. Today we are talking about some kind of model for canceling the deferment, which has general support, we can’t yet,” he said.
Extradition of draft dodgers
Let us recall that earlier some Ukrainian officials began to allow the extradition of draft dodgers who left our country.
In particular, Venislavsky also announced such measures. He noted that for extradition in each individual case it is necessary to provide relevant documents.
Therefore, as the people’s deputy added, the authorities are working to make this procedure more flexible.
