Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets believes that the draft law "On Improving Certain Aspects of Mobilization, Military Registration and Military Service" (the new draft law on mobilization) is unconstitutional. The Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights said this during a telethon.

"In my opinion, there are things in this draft law that contradict the Constitution of Ukraine. I will write about this directly when this draft law is officially submitted to me for approval," Lubinets said.

He also said that he will outline his conclusions on this issue at the stage of preparing the draft law for consideration by the parliamentary committee.

Dmytro Lubinets emphasized that he considers some provisions of the draft law unacceptable and discriminatory, in particular the proposal to introduce restrictions on the rights of those who evade military registration and are not ready to serve.

"This is a direct provision of the Constitution: a person cannot be restricted in his or her rights. If a person officially owns, for example, a house, we cannot legally prohibit him or her from selling this house or buying another house. This would directly contradict the Constitution of Ukraine. Yes, there is a provision that explicitly allows for the restriction of rights under martial law, but these rights cannot be restricted indefinitely," the ombudsman said.

He also said that Ukraine is actively resisting Russian aggression, and the country cannot afford to turn into something like Russia, where "neither laws nor regulations will be in effect, and the Constitution will turn into just a piece of paper."
