“I know that some radical measures will be introduced there now. There are also talks, and, as far as I know, some things are changing in the conscription age. I will not specify… But I know that movements are underway”
According to Roman Kostenko, specific decisions should be announced by the The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine or the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He emphasized that mobilization issues fall within the powers of the bodies and officials who are directly responsible for this direction.
“This is their task, their authority… I want those responsible for mobilization to deal with this: the president, the government, the defence minister”
At the same time, the deputy said that this year approaches to the mobilization of women, as well as parents of three or more children, will not be changed. He added that he has not yet seen proposals for changes in these areas.
“In these areas I have not yet seen any proposals… We adopted the law that women serve only voluntarily”
