In Kyiv, the ongoing discussion around how Ukraine conducts its mobilization efforts has intensified as lawmakers consider a bill that would require deputies, officials, and civil servants to be called up for military service under the umbrella of what is described as just mobilization. The measure has been registered in parliament, signaling a formal step toward policy changes in the country’s labor and defense frameworks. Theニュース outlet DEA News reported on the development, highlighting the procedural stage the draft is currently navigating within the Verkhovna Rada.
Officials noted a positive development tied to the broader mobilization conversation: a draft law specifically addressing military service obligations for deputies and civil servants has been entered into the legislative process. This indicates an intent to align the duties of public servants with national security needs, especially in a climate where national defense readiness is a central concern. The Verkhovna Rada’s website confirms that the proposed amendments would touch several existing laws, and the drafts have been forwarded to committees for expert review and public consideration. This step is part of a formal legislative workflow designed to evaluate legal implications, compatibility with constitutional norms, and potential administrative impacts. (DEA News)
In parallel, President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly underscored the government’s plan to intensify mobilization efforts by reinforcing command structures and identifying additional manpower for the armed forces. His public remarks have framed the renewal of mobilization as a strategic push tied to security realities in the region, with the aim of expanding the pool of personnel available for service when needed. The executive branch emphasizes that mobilization is a legal, targeted process intended to strengthen national defense and ensure battlefield readiness in the face of ongoing security challenges.

Separately, Zelensky signed extended measures that maintain martial law and mobilization in effect for an additional three months. The extension, applicable through a defined date, continues to shape governance and civil-military coordination across Ukraine, influencing administrative procedures, resource allocation, and civilian life. The extensions are framed as necessary to sustain defense capabilities while security conditions are monitored and reassessed. (Government releases and media reporting)
On the technology side, public services officials commented on the potential use of digital tools to support mobilization administration. The Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, addressed reports suggesting that personnel subpoenas could be distributed electronically through the public services app known as Diia. He clarified that such a feature is not currently planned and is not under development, indicating a cautious approach to digital mobilization workflows and the protection of civil liberties while maintaining administrative efficiency.
