Details
During the press conference, journalists asked Zelenskyi about the partners’ proposal to lower the mobilization age.
Write that the President of Ukraine stated that the issue of the need for weapons, not people, is currently facing us. In particular, Zelensky reminded that the Ukrainian army still has “bare” brigades that are not staffed.
It seems to me not very fair when we talked about training 14 brigades, at least 12 brigades abroad. Even a year ago, it should have started with the USA and our European colleagues. And today we have one brigade that we trained in France and one that is additionally trained today in Germany, where the USA trains. And if we are talking about two brigades from this year’s block, we are talking about weapons, not people. That is, there are not enough weapons, not people. Of course, there are always not enough people
Zelenskyi emphasized that full staffing of brigades is necessary to protect the state.
We will remind
The President of Ukraine stated that modern war is a war of technologies, not trenches and trenches. The priority is the preservation of the lives of the youth and the technology of the army, not the age of the military.
