Presidential Advisor Dmitry Lytvyn criticized the call to reduce the mobilization age to 18 years to increase the number of Ukrainian army. In his opinion, the problem is not the lack of mobilized, but in delays in supplying weapons from Western partners, which make it impossible to equip the already mobilized soldiers.
Lytvyn noted that many previously announced military equipment has not yet been received on time, and this creates a critical shortage of weapons on the front line.
"There is no point in hearing calls for Ukraine to reduce the mobilization age, when delays in weapons do not allow the use of even mobilized soldiers to be used effectively," the presidential adviser stressed.
He added that Western partners have access to full data and can compare promises with actual deliveries, emphasizing the need for greater determination and promptness in supporting Ukraine.
Lytvyn stressed that it is impossible to compensate for delays in the logistics of the "youth" of new mobilized. Instead, Ukraine expects to fulfill the promised obligations in the supply of military equipment and weapons from partners.
