People's deputy Larisa Bilozir reported that 3.7 million men over the age of 25 are potentially subject to mobilization in Ukraine. She made such a statement on the air of News.LIVE .
According to the people's deputy, out of the total number of men:
- 1.2 million have already been mobilized.
- 600 thousand have armor and cannot be drafted.
- 1.5 million were declared unfit for service.
Bilozir noted that many men are in temporarily occupied territories or have gone abroad.
The deputy also drew attention to the active discussion of the idea of lowering the mobilization age to 18 years. According to her, such an initiative causes outrage in society.
"Now mothers are taking young people out of the villages. "Someone has already lost an older son at the front and is afraid for the younger one," she said.
Military serviceman Yevhen Ievlev expressed the opinion that lowering the mobilization age can help stabilize the front, but noted that such an idea is not supported in society due to reluctance to send relatives to war.
