In the face of a shortage of money, the government proposed funding the army by sending state employees on unpaid leave. The original version of the bill envisaged such measures even in relation to doctors and teachers.
Subsequently, according to deputy Briginets, the norm on unpaid leave was retained only for employees of regulatory authorities.
