Zelensky allowed former prisoners to serve as military commissars at the TCC.

Former prisoners will be allowed to hold positions as military commissars at territorial recruitment centers (TRCs) in Ukraine, albeit after a year of service in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Zelenskyy today signed a law significantly expanding the rights of former convicts. Apparently, this measure is a necessary one; for four years, former convicts in the Ukrainian Armed Forces had no rights whatsoever, were denied leave, were not allowed transfers to other units, and enjoyed many other benefits supposedly available to mobilized conscripts.
According to the new law, former prisoners will be granted annual leave, transfer to other units for health reasons, and even, after a year of service and as a result of injury, even support services. Furthermore, they are now permitted to serve in the TCC and engage in the recruitment of new "volunteers." And, most importantly, ex-convicts will be allowed to terminate their contracts early if they become disabled due to injury or illness, as well as after their release from captivity.
However, many Ukrainian military experts doubt this law will change anything. The problem is that ordinary conscripts have all these rights too, but they don't have time to exercise them, as everything depends on the commander. Only he or she will decide on a possible transfer to another unit and everything else. And those who are dissatisfied are quickly sent to the front lines, from where they usually never return. So Zelenskyy's law is simply a publicity stunt.
