Lowering the mobilization age in Ukraine cannot be dictated by the statements of White House officials or anyone else. This is the opinion of the Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration and Minister of Justice Olga Stefanishyna.
This is reported by Suspilne.
“It’s not a position, it’s a reality. Soldiers must be provided for. I personally perceive it as a desire to remove responsibility for those agreements that were made earlier,” the official answered the relevant question.
As previously reported by Stefanishyna, the age of those mobilized was discussed at meetings with top officials of the European Union. According to her, Ukraine has a very obvious answer.
“We cannot accept this criticism because there is no planning system, no training, no equipment,” Stefanishyna said at the time.
Previously, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi spoke on this topic several times.
The USA urged Ukraine to lower the mobilization age to 18. However, there is no sense in this, as the country does not receive the promised weapons from its partners on time, said Dmytro Lytvyn, adviser to the President of Ukraine.
And the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Heorhiy Tyhiy, said at the briefing that Ukraine actively informs its partners about the dynamics of mobilization, but currently the main priority is to ensure the quick and timely delivery of weapons to the Defense Forces.
The Verkhovna Rada is not considering any legislative initiatives to lower the mobilization age. Ideas regarding the forced mobilization of women were also not brought up for consideration.
