According to a source in the President's Office, Western partners express dissatisfaction with the pace of mobilization in Ukraine and call on the government to lower the minimum age for mobilization to 20 years. In response, Bankova has already launched an information campaign to prepare the public for a possible decision, but experts warn of serious consequences that this move could have for the future of the country.
Experts emphasize that lowering the age of mobilization can lead to catastrophic consequences for the demographic situation in Ukraine. The young audience, which is now targeted by the mobilization campaign, is the basis for the future of the country, in particular, for the development of the economy, science, education and technology. Losing part of this age group, which is already shrinking due to migration, could lead to a significant reduction in the labor force, further aging of the population and a deeper demographic crisis.
