Mobilization in Ukraine: how is the call now and who will be taken into the army in December

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine supported the draft laws submitted by President Vladimir Zelensky to extend the term of martial law in Ukraine and to introduce general mobilization in connection with Russia's actions by February 2024. The Head of the Public Relations Service of the Command of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Fito in an interview with NV told about it.

According to his statement, the mobilization process in Ukraine lasts since February 2022 and develops in accordance with the plan, not providing any intensification or weakening. "It may have been a larger set at the beginning when more parts were formed. All the challenges associated with mobilization in Russia were taken into account during our mobilization. Citizens aged 18 to 60, are currently conscripts in Ukraine. who can be military service in their health, ”he reminded.

He also noted that there is a group of conscripts aged 18-27, who could be called for military conscript service. However, since there was no Presidential Decree on the demobilization of previous stitches and new prizes, this category of citizens is not currently under the mobilization. "In addition to this military persons after receiving the summons, if they appeared in the CCC personally, they undergo a medical examination and update their military accounting data.

If they do not have the reasons provided for by law for delay from mobilization, they are sent to the training center , where they are trained from one month and, accordingly, then go to their military units, "he explained. As for accounting specialties, this, according to Lieutenant Colonel, depends on the needs that are currently available. "First, when a person came to the shopping center, it does not mean that he or she immediately goes to the armed forces.

He provides his credentials and, if he is now needed for health and his specialty at this point, then such a person can be such a person mobilize in the formed direction. The simplest training is a military-accounting specialty of shooters-it lasts from one month. If the military-accounting specialty is more difficult, for example, drone operator, gunner-artilleryman and a number of professions, then training lasts longer-a month, two, three, three , according to the program.

Our mobilized are trained abroad in partner countries. It is Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom and others, "he summed up. Recall that some servicemen may be dismissed. The legislation of Ukraine provides four reasons for demobilization during the war. We will also remind that the Verkhovna Rada explained whether mobilization in Ukraine would be strengthened. Planned mobilization measures are constantly taking place - daily, and there is no need to increase the intensity of the conscription.
