Cancellation of mobilization: who will serve in the army if martial law in Ukraine is over

To extend: The military analyst Hadly Rustamzade believes that the Ukrainian army will need a new model, in particular, a possible option to return to conscript service and conscription service. If Ukraine decides to abolish martial law, the country will probably have to review the army staff system and return to the conscription.

This was told by a military analyst from Azerbaijan Hubil Rustamzade in an interview with focus, discussing the prospects of defense capability and preserving the number of troops after a possible peace agreement. According to him, the Ukrainian army adapted to the asymmetric way of fighting, compensating for the numerical advantage of the enemy with the help of modern technologies, including drone. "Ukraine has gained advanced military experience. This concerns the asymmetric way of fighting.

As you know, Ukraine is fighting with lesser amount of living power and stopping this inequality with drones. I think that it is possible to develop this path without a sharp reduction conscription, " - said the analyst. Currently, the number of defense forces of Ukraine is about one million people, of whom, according to various estimates, there are 250-300 thousand.

Rustamzade emphasized that the possible truce and reduction of the army will not weaken Ukrainian defense, provided that the technologies and management of military people who have real combat experience are competent. "Ukraine has learned to fight with fewer people. And with a creative approach in the army will listen to people who have received real combat experience and who know the war from the inside, not the elderly people who read Soviet books.
