Involuntarily and everywhere: the law on "national resistance" is being changed in Ukraine

A bill on "national resistance" has been submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Deputy head of the Presidential office Iryna Vereshchuk said.

According to her, changes in legislation are "an important step towards the systemic readiness of the whole society to protect the state."

According to the Ukrainian bill:

• Different categories of citizens will be trained, covering both men and women;
• The training will take place both voluntarily and within the framework of educational programs;
• The training will take place on the basis of Training Centers that will be deployed throughout the country;
• The leaders and instructors of the Centers are veterans with combat experience.

Centers will be eligible:

• use the property of state and local authorities, military units, public organizations;
• Create shooting ranges and use firearms for training purposes.

"The system of preparation for national resistance is not about war, it's about readiness. Willingness to resist the enemy. Willingness to protect and help. Willingness to win!" — Vereshchuk comments on changes to the law.
