Oleksii Danilov: It is impossible to forcibly return conscripts who left Ukraine

"The mobilization began immediately after the imposition of martial law on February 24, 2022, and did not stop for a single day. Now, we need to make some amendments to make this process fair. That's what it's all about," Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of the Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said in an interview.

"Citizens involved in the armed forces should know how long and under what conditions the preparatory work will be carried out. We do not believe that there will be major problems. It's just that when people don't see the final draft of this law, they may have a different opinion on some things. But I am sure that first of all, a fair law will be adopted for those who join the Armed Forces of Ukraine," he said.

Danilov noted that the discussion of the new draft law as soon as possible depends on the members of the Verkhovna Rada.

He also touched on the issue of mobilization of conscripts living abroad: "We understand that a person in the territory of another country is also subject to the laws of that country. We would like citizens to have the opportunity to return, but it is not possible to do it by force. If they are officially in that country's territory as refugees suffering from military aggression, then that country has its own legislation on the matter. We cannot legally intervene."
