Sooner or later Ukraine will have to resolve the issue of reducing the mobilization age and in general to change the approach to mobilization, including the involvement of law enforcement officers in the fighting. The expert commander of the Armed Forces Viktor Muzhenko said this in an interview with Radio Liberty. "This is my opinion, but unfortunately, we will come to this (reduction of mobilization age - ed.
) Parts of those people who are conscripts but are already retired by law enforcement agencies, "Muzhenko said. He added that this would be possible to rotate so that younger, energetic and suitable to send to combat military units. "Maybe then this issue will be resolved, or for a certain period is drawn. We need to understand that when we leave a certain territory, we leave the people who live there, and perhaps what will create the base for the development of our country ", - said Muzhenko.
He also drew attention to the economic aspect, since about half of all minerals of Ukraine are located in the occupied territories. We will remind that Nazariy Volyansky, Advisor to the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development stated that Ukraine will be forced to reduce the mobilization age by Western partners. The US has repeatedly urged Ukraine to reduce the mobilization age to 18 years. Washington believes that the main problem of the Ukrainian army is the lack of people.
