“That is, mobilization should occur starting from the age of 18 and possibly not until 60. There are already proposals to lower the upper age limit to at least 55, and perhaps if we had mobilization starting at 18, the upper limit would be 50 years,” notes Alexander Musienko.

So, he states, this is a debatable issue, but we see that this is being discussed in the USA; it is primarily an American position to lower the mobilization age here. According to the expert, in various meetings with the expert community and embassies, he has also been hearing about this for about six months, and some European countries are discussing it too.

“My argument has always been essentially the same as that articulated by the advisor to the President of Ukraine on strategic communications, Dmitry Litvin. He mentioned that we are mobilizing, but the question is what we will equip these people with. And that is a valid question. What kind of brigades will we be forming, purely infantry? Or do we want to establish truly mechanized, artillery brigades, etc., that will perform tasks using UAVs and the latest technologies? In other words, we need to arm them,” explains Alexander Musienko.

President Zelensky, he reminds, stated from the podium of the Verkhovna Rada that there are no plans to lower the mobilization age, but competitive conditions will be created to attract young people for contract service starting at 18, which is actually a good solution. If this doesn’t work, the expert reflects, then mobilization from the age of 18 is too much; the mobilization age could only be lowered to 22-23 years, which is the age of finishing university studies.
