Ukraine’s mobilization has not ‘stalled’ — Danilov
While problems with conscription
in Ukraine could arise over time, currently the number of people involved in
national security and defense is not decreasing, Ukraine’s National Security
and Defense Council (NSDC) secretary Oleksiy Danilov said in a comment to
Ukrainska Pravda on Oct. 31.
He emphasized that at present, the state does not experience anything resembling a “stalling” mobilization.
“As for the draft, the number of people in the security and defense sector is not decreasing in our country,” said Danilov.
“Will there be problems? This question may arise over time. How big they will be and how they may affect various things, we will look at that then.”
In particular, the journalists claimed that recruitment to the Ukrainian army had virtually stopped after Zelenskyy decided to dismiss the heads of district military enlistment offices.
According to the report, older Ukrainians, many of whom have chronic health problems, are being disproportionately drafted into the military.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
