“Changes in mobilization should not be expected. <…> Yes, the military is appealing, and there will most likely be an additional conscription, but this does not mean that it will go beyond the limits that we approved on February 24 last year,» Danilov said.

The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council emphasized that mobilization in the country has been going on daily since the beginning of the special operation, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) now need more people.

Earlier, on August 24, bills on the mobilization of parliamentarians and officials were registered in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. The documents have been submitted to management for consideration.

In addition, on June 29, Ukraine expanded the list of citizens subject to mobilization. This law legalized the mobilization of citizens whose wife, husband or parents have the first or second group of disabilities, if they have other able-bodied relatives.

Martial law has been in force in Ukraine since February 2022, at the same time Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed the law on general mobilization. According to the order, men between the ages of 18 and 60 cannot leave the country.
