More people were mobilized in Ukraine in May than in recent months. This was reported by the secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, Roman Kostenko.
Kostenko noted that May 2024 has become the most productive month in terms of mobilization since the beginning of 2023. He noted that the entry into force of the new law, as well as the growing awareness of citizens, were among the factors that contributed to the strengthening of mobilization.
"I believe that many people who wanted to mobilize during the drafting of the law were waiting for the conditions, and in May they decided to join the army," he said.
Kostenko also expressed the opinion that the effectiveness of the new law on mobilization can be assessed directly in the army in a few months.
It also became known that the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has expanded the possibilities of booking from mobilization for employees of enterprises of the defense-industrial complex.
