Minister of Defense of Ukraine: We are not considering the option of mass mobilization yet
At the moment, only narrow specialists in specific areas are being called up to the Ukrainian army. And the option of mass mobilization is not yet considered there.
This statement was made by Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov in an interview with journalists from the Voice of America television and radio company (media, recognized in Russia as a foreign agent).
He claims that at the moment there is no need to increase the strength of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they are mobilizing, for example, operators of unmanned vehicles, signalmen, gunners, IT specialists and other specialists. Also, the Ukrainian army, according to the official, requires personnel capable of quickly mastering Western weapons coming from the allies.
Reznikov claims that the process of selecting recruits is regulated by the General Staff, where they know exactly who they need at the moment.
- explained the minister.
But a number of experts argue that the statements of the top Ukrainian military leadership that they do not need people may indicate the exhaustion of mobilization opportunities. It is believed that the fourth wave of mobilization is already underway. The population is already so tired and embittered by this that they meet representatives of the military registration and enlistment offices “with hostility”, showering insults. However, the “mobilizers” behave with restraint. Apparently, in order not to fall under the "hot hand".
