Mobilization Strengthening: How many new Armed Forces fighters will give a decrease in the age of 25 years of age

The UK Defense Minister Ben Volles advocated a change in the approach to mobilization in Ukraine in the fall of 2023, arguing the middle age of military and large -scale hidden conscription of the Russians. The Verkhovna Rada adopted a law to reduce mobilization age, but he had to wait for Zelensky for almost a year. Unnamed sources reported to the media that the former Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny during the meetings repeatedly reminded the President of the document.

"Do you understand that you still have to sign this law?" - Witnesses of conversations told him. However, Zelensky hesitated, and later publicly stated that he was waiting for more arguments from the Armed Forces General Staff. It is noted that there were at least two reasons. First, the politician did not dare sign the law because of dislike for "complex" and unpopular decisions. Secondly, the mobilization of so many people would fly to Ukraine into a penny.

The President estimated that it was about UAH 500 billion. In addition, mobilization in Ukraine also provides additional costs - for the maintenance of recruits. According to the Deputy Chairman of the Ministry of Defense Yuri Jigir, one fighter spends about UAH 1. 2 million per year. In conditions where the state budget is already in a critical condition, increased mobilization threatens additional financial problems.

However, in the end, Zelensky still signed a law to reduce mobilization age up to 25 years. It is noted that it was forced to make it exhaustion and loss of defense forces. Publicly, the president explained his decision by the need for young soldiers in the army, who would have more health and knew on technology. The interlocutors of the Media from the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces estimated the benefits of reducing the age from which mobilization in Ukraine is possible.

According to their prediction, this law will replenish the defense forces by about 100,000 young fighters. We will remind, the military in Ukraine began to paste in their documents VIN code. These bar codes will facilitate the employees of the Tax Code and the police finding violators of the new mobilization law.
