Children of evaders should be deprived of the right to enter universities - People's Deputy

People's deputy Vadym Ivchenko believes that those who evade military registration should bear responsibility in the form of deprivation of some public services. For example, the right of children of evaders to enter universities. Ivchenko said this in an interview with the Telegraph.


"Blocking accounts? No. We can find other measures. It is wrong to leave a person without money and let him die somewhere. But there must be other measures. As a driver, you get fines. It's the same here: if you didn't comply with the law on military registration, you must bear responsibility," the MP believes.


He suggests that the penalty in this case may be restrictions on receiving certain public services.


"The political leadership suggests that if you don't want to fulfill your civic duty, defend your homeland, and if you are not registered for military service, the state may refuse you services. For example: you will not receive state support, your children will not enter universities, or you will not enter a university," the MP suggests.


He also responded to accusations that such punishments are considered unconstitutional.


"Tell me, is it constitutional when you have to defend your country, but you don't come to recruitment centers, don't update your data, and don't register for military service? All men in Israel are registered with the military. And in our country, everyone must be registered. This does not mean that they will necessarily be at "zero" or at war. But you have to be registered. The state must know whether to count on you or not. This is a normal process," the MP said.
