Ukraine will not be able to fulfill the mobilization plans by the end of the year due to the slowdown in the pace of mobilization. This was stated by People's Deputy Solomiya Bobrovska on the broadcast of the "Great Lviv Speaks" stream. She noted that since September, mobilization began to decrease, after Ukraine reached a certain level of implementation of the General Staff plan in the summer.
"Unfortunately, autumn has gone downhill," Bobrovska said. She also confirmed that due to the shortage of fighters on the front line and the slowdown in mobilization, aviation technicians and air defense specialists were transferred to the infantry.
The deputy noted that the plan of the General Staff, both for this year and for the current month, will not be implemented until December. "This is difficult, and again we return to the situation of spring 2024," she added.
Commenting on the information about the need to mobilize 500,000 people to the Ukrainian army, Bobrovska emphasized that such a figure does not appear in the plans for this year or the next. She emphasized that there are clear plans for mobilization, and noted that the indicated figure of half a million needs to be clarified regarding the terms.
"Half a million people - in what period of time? This should be clarified. Because it is irresponsible to spread such numbers," Bobrovska pointed out. According to her, there were proven plans for this year, and they are much smaller than 500,000.
If we talk about next year, when the General Staff will talk about the need to replenish combat brigades and form new ones, then we can talk about other numbers. However, Bobrovska stressed that the closed meetings did not discuss 500,000 mobilized people.
