This is known from an interview published in Ukrinform on June 6. Gorbenko recalled that during the planning of a counter -offensive under the direction of the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny, there was a need to mobilize 500,000 Ukrainians. "However, assistance from international partners, unfortunately, was delayed," the deputy said. Subsequently, Zaluzhny was replaced by Alexander Sirsky.
The military commander approved the Defense Plan for 2024, which no longer envisaged the mobilization of so many persons. "It is also important to keep in mind that weapons and a huge financial resource are needed to ensure a conscription of 500,000 people for their training and maintenance," Gorbenko emphasized. According to the People's Deputy, nowadays military command and servicemen talk about the need for mobilization of 100-110 thousand people for 2024.
