Details: It was noted that after the end of the war, Territorial Defence will remain a part of Ukraine’s defence system.

As a reminder: The law "On National Resistance'' came into force on 1 January. It regulates the activities of Territorial defence units under martial law and state of emergency.  First of all, they will include army veterans, paramilitary and law enforcement units. However, those with more than two convictions or those convicted of a serious or especially serious crime will not be admitted.
