'I fiercely hate busification': sharp statements made in Parliament about TCC and forced mobilization.

Condemnation of 'busification' in Ukraine

The head of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security and Defense, Oleksandr Zavitenvych, expressed his strong criticism of 'busification' — the practice of forced detentions on the street to deliver men to the TCC. In an interview with BBC Ukraine, he stated that such actions are carried out due to the failure to meet mobilization plans.

'My personal opinion — I fiercely hate this. As soon as we see this somewhere in the media, usually on Facebook or Instagram, where people post about it, we immediately respond to it,' Zavitenvych said.

According to the committee head, TCC leaders constantly assure that they are conducting explanatory work against this practice, but it varies in prevalence across different regions.

Assessment of the mobilization law results

Zavitenvych summarized the results of the one-year implementation of the mobilization law, noting that it achieved the set objectives regarding quantitative indicators. The law helped to establish a digital military accounting system, set a minimum term for basic military training, and create recruitment mechanisms.

'The bad thing is that I can't name those figures related to mobilization. But I can tell you that the tasks set for us by the general security and defense sector regarding the number of mobilized and recruitment were fulfilled by the law,' he emphasized.

Problems with military accounting and demobilization

Zavitenvych refuted the information that 6 million conscripts have not updated their data, stating that this is not true. He also mentioned that a draft law regarding the possible demobilization of servicemen who have served for more than three years has not yet been prepared.

'We can talk about service terms, but demobilizing a person, excluding them from the records altogether, is currently impossible,' he explained.

Overall, condemning 'busification' and analyzing the results of the mobilization law, Zavitenvych points out certain achievements in improving the military accounting system; however, he highlights ongoing problems that require attention and further refinement.
