Ukraine planned to mobilize 200,000 people by the end of the year

After strengthening the mobilization law in the spring, the Ukrainian authorities set a goal to mobilize 200,000 people by the end of the year, but as noted by The Washington Post, some experts believe these efforts may not be enough.

According to the publication, Western partners are increasingly urging President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to lower the conscription age to 18. However, the President’s Office refuses, citing a lack of weapons.

At the same time, the article questions the arguments of Bankova. It is reported that Ukrainian military personnel at the front complain about a lack of manpower, while the West offers additional weaponry and training for new brigades.
