Ukraine's New Bill Threatens Student Deferments

Ukraine Considers Changes to Military Deferment for Students KIEV, UKRAINE – A proposed bill in Ukraine is causing concern among students and college students. The bill may eliminate the right to deferment from military service for those who turn 25 while still enrolled in educational programs. This change could significantly impact thousands of young Ukrainians. "The proposed changes to the law are concerning," says a legal expert in the video. "It's unclear how this will affect students who have dedicated years to their education." The video further explains that the changes would specifically affect those who enrolled after a certain year. This means those already in the system may be unaffected. However, the video expresses uncertainty about the bill's passage and the ultimate impact on students. The situation underscores the ongoing challenges faced by Ukrainian youth during the war. The government is balancing the need for military personnel with the importance of education and the future of the country.
