The topic of mobilization, which has been widely discussed in Ukraine recently, also came into the spotlight during the holidays. The text of the law, which provides for a lowering of the mobilization age, was published by the Ukrainian parliament on Monday evening. Then the head of the army spoke on Tuesday.
“At the moment I am not satisfied with the work (of the draft authorities),” said Zaluzhnyi on Tuesday, whom Reuters described as a reserved general on public relations.
The commander of the Ukrainian armed forces also doesn’t like the determination of fitness for military service. The Unian agency emphasized that he was an advocate that the authorities should delete the current term “limited performance” from the legal regulations and only leave those strictly “able” or “unable”.

In his opinion, the degrees of disability are not relevant for assessing a person’s fitness or unfitness for military service and the Military Medical Commission should have the deciding say in this regard.
Here too, according to Unian, there will be changes according to the new standard.
Last week, President Volodymyr Zelensky said the army had proposed mobilizing an additional 450,000 to 500,000 people. While Zaluzhny sees the figure as justified, he told reporters he would never reveal it to the public, a remark that reignited speculation about political tensions between him and Zelensky.
Tensions between the two men were also widely discussed in the media in November after Zaluzhny said the war with Russia was heading toward a stalemate due to the technical state of the battlefield. Such a comment was met with disapproval by the presidential office and reprimanded the army chief for it.

Zaluzhny commanded that year’s Ukrainian counteroffensive. However, the army failed to regain a significant part of the territory occupied by Russia. Nevertheless, the general is still very popular with many Ukrainians – after he repelled Russian troops from the Ukrainian capital in early 2022 and organized two successful counteroffensives in the fall of the same year that recaptured large parts of the territory, writes Reuters.
“In 2023 we had quite ambitious goals. I was not disappointed with the amount (of foreign aid). Of course, it was not the entire required amount, but it allowed us to carry out sovereign military operations,” Zaluzhnyi further said at his press conference, adding that the time that has passed since his comments on the standoff proved him right: “I I got it. There was a lot of criticism, but over time people realized that I was absolutely right.
Ukraine is changing the way it mobilizes and is targeting specialists
Russia is now making progress on all fronts, Shoigu said
