30,000 monthly and HSC: What are the problems of mobilization in Ukraine and how it affects the war - the media

Ukraine refuses to reduce the age of mobilization, with the rates of conscription insufficient, Welt journalists wrote. According to People's Deputy Sergiy Rakhmanin, there is a threat of disruption of plans due to the growth of HSF. The Armed Forces are forced to adhere to defense strategy because mobilization in Ukraine is inhibiting. During 2024, 30,000 people were recruited into the army monthly, but so many recruits were not enough to change the situation on the battlefield.

The German edition of Welt wrote about the problem of mobilization and what it can solve it. Welt wrote that one of the main reasons why Ukraine chose and adheres to defense strategy is a lack of fighters. It is stated that 6 million Ukrainians have evaded the call. It is also noted that the problem with the assembly of the Armed Forces did not solve the preliminary decrease in the conscript age to 25 years (occurred in 2023).

Meanwhile, the government refuses to undergo US pressure, which is talking about mobilization from the age of 18. Journalists explained that the existing replenishment strategy is continuing [by mobilizing from the age of 25]. The newspaper reported that from the spring of 2024, 30,000 Ukrainians were mobilized in the Armed Forces. It is emphasized that "problems with staff are critical. " The comment of the People's Deputy "Voice" Sergey Rakhmanin is made.

The People's Deputy stated that the number of people in the army decreases due to the "constant outflow of personnel". In his opinion, even if you increase the mobilization plan, it will not improve the situation due to the appropriate increase in the number of HSF. Earlier, Focus wrote about the proposals of US government officials to reduce the conscript age up to 18 years. This was discussed in the fall of 2024 by media sources in Presidential Administration Joe Baiden.

At the same time, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky rejected the ideas of Western partners and said that it was better that Ukraine had provided weapons for the newly created 10 brigades. Meanwhile, the media published data on the number of HCPs. In particular, the Office of the Prosecutor General has published data on 100,000 criminal proceedings open against fugitives from the army. Combat 3 OSHBR Dmitry Kukharchuk named the causes of such incidents.
