Referring to my experience and the experience of my colleagues on the committee, I can say that there has never been any categoricalness or even discussion on this issue.
Yes, sometimes partners have shown interest in whether our plans include lowering the mobilization age.
But this has never determined the nature of our conversations in discussing security assistance to Ukraine, emphasized Zavitnevych.
According to him, currently Ukraine primarily needs an appropriate amount of modern weapons and military equipment.
The priority is to fully arm all formed units.
Reserves should be used to improve the system of incentives for the contractual form of joining the army, to improve the recruiting company both at the level of the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff, and the units themselves, and the conditions of military service, emphasizes Zavitnevych.
