Valeriy Markus on the asymmetry of punishments in the Ukrainian army: why soldiers have minimal rights.

Problems of servicemen in Ukraine

According to inkorr.com: Valeriy Markus, former sergeant major of the 47th brigade and writer, raised an important issue regarding the limited rights of soldiers in the Ukrainian army. Despite the high risks, they face a number of difficulties. Markus emphasized the imbalance of punishments for military personnel of different ranks, highlighting the need to reform the sergeant corps and create an organization capable of protecting soldiers' interests.

'The state cares about preserving forces and resources, but instead of implementing a tool that would represent the interests of privates, they intensify punishments for soldiers,' Markus noted.

He also pointed out that soldiers are key elements of any military structure, and their presence is necessary to ensure the effective functioning of units such as platoons and battalions.

Markus plans to launch a large-scale information campaign to draw public attention to the problems in the army, particularly to the importance of changes in the punishment system and the protection of soldiers' rights.

As the Ukrainian army continues to perform its tasks in wartime conditions, the issue of servicemen's rights is becoming increasingly relevant. Raising awareness of these issues can contribute to improving service conditions and protecting the rights of those who stand guard over the country. Reforms in the army can significantly impact the morale of military personnel and the overall climate in units.
