Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk would not like the Ukrainian parliament to repeat the mistake of the Central Rada in the issue of demobilization.

“I do not know a country that would demobilize during the war … Apologies, I know such a country - this is the Ukrainian People's Republic in 1919. At that time, Defense Minister Mykola Porsh submitted a draft law on demobilization to the Central Council. This bill was then voted by the Central Rada … Do I need to tell you what happened next? It is very important for me that the current Verkhovna Rada does not repeat the mistake of the Central Rada,” Stefanchuk said on the air of the unified telethon on Thursday evening.
