Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has signed a decree on demobilization of servicemen conscripted during the sixth draft wave.
"Before the end of October, the defenders of our Homeland, who were enlisted in the so-called "sixth wave" last year, will return to their homes and families. I've signed the relevant decree. Its implementation would mean a further step in the transition of the army to a professional basis," he wrote on Facebook.
