Kornienko explained why the issue of lowering the age for mobilization is not relevant for Ukraine

There is no discussion in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine about a possible lowering of the age for mobilization, although questions about it come from international partners. The First Vice-Speaker of the Parliament, Oleksandr Kornienko, noted during an interview on Radio NV that, against the background of the demographic situation in Ukraine, lowering the mobilization age is unlikely.

Kornienko noted that the Verkhovna Rada recently passed a law prohibiting the mobilization of men under the age of 25. Previously, due to a legislative conflict, some of them could be mobilized, although officially the minimum age for mobilization is currently 25 years. Explaining the government's position, he emphasized that there is a "demographic pit" in Ukraine, and it is the youth under the age of 25 who are the main potential for rebuilding the country after the war.

"This is the golden generation with which we should work and rebuild the country," he said. He also emphasized that the question of lowering the age for mobilization arises from the side of international partners, but in Ukraine this step is not necessary due to the peculiarities of the demographic situation.

We will remind that on October 9, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a draft law that allows men under the age of 25 to be exempted from mobilization. According to the directive issued by the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the mobilization of citizens aged 18-25 has been suspended, although some already mobilized will not be released from the army.
