The military assessed whether lowering the mobilization age in Ukraine is possible.

The head of the Reserve Council of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ivan Timochko, expressed his opinion on the possible lowering of the mobilization age in Ukraine.

According to him, this issue may be considered only in the event of a shortage of resources for the country's defense, writes espreso.

On the "Espreso" TV channel, Timochko noted: "If we find ourselves in a situation where we really have nowhere to draw additional resources for the defense of our country, then lowering the mobilization age is a quite realistic scenario." He emphasized that this is possible only in the absence of legislative loopholes to avoid mobilization.

Timochko reminded that the mobilization age in Ukraine starts from 18 years old. He also drew attention to the need for legislative regulation of the issue of obtaining higher education by men aged 25 and over, to deprive them of legal grounds to avoid military service.

"I understand when booking is done for military facilities. However, booking football players, circus performers, and people of other similar professions in wartime should not occur. We need to defend the country," Timochko emphasized.

He also added that the youth have the right to education, but men aged 25 and over already had the chance to receive it. "Therefore, perhaps now it's important to seize the opportunity to defend your country," summed up the head of the Reserve Council.

Let us recall that Zelensky also spoke about the idea of lowering the conscription age and economic booking.
