According to the guest of the program, she will never support lowering the conscription age in Ukraine to 18, as it raises the question of whom the Armed Forces are protecting this land for—not for migrants who would use it to travel to Europe. She emphasizes that the reported casualty figures at the front are significantly understated.

“I won’t mention any numbers, but they are indeed understated. What do we want to achieve? To sacrifice the entire nation? We need to have 5 children in a family to even begin recovering to our pre-war state. We have the highest mortality rate in history and the lowest birth rate in history. What are we talking about? Do we want to lose even more children?” – emphasizes Anna Skorokhod.

Incidentally, the deputy notes that they have already voted for law No. 11379d, which prohibits the conscription of those with limited suitability, but the president has yet to sign it, even though everyone is waiting. According to her, it is crucial to understand that we cannot destroy the gene pool; otherwise, only women and some children with the elderly will remain here.

“By the way, I know that I am often published by Russian outlets. So, I want to convey to them that their situation is ten times worse than ours. They have crematoriums following after the guys, so they shouldn’t laugh over there. Their situation is ten times worse, if not a hundred. Their losses are much greater, and they face much more humiliation,” - concludes Anna Skorokhod.

As reported by Zna.ua, Novikova spoke about how Ukrainian universities live and work during the war.

Additionally, Zna.ua wrote about Lutsenko explaining why the full-scale war began in 2022 and will end in 2025.
