KIEV (Sputnik) — Around 50 people, including women and children are urging President Petro Poroshenko to bring back troops conscripted in April 2015, 112 Ukraine TV channel reported. The protesters claim that their relatives have been serving for more than a year, while according to the law, they must have been discharged after serving a one-year term.
Ukraine brought back military conscription in 2014 after a conflict broke out in the southeast, stepping away from its 2013 military reform that dropped compulsory enrollment in favor of a smaller regular army. There have been six "mobilization waves" so far, with a seventh rumored to be held later this year.
