with reference to Ukrinform.

According to him, the Ministry of Defense is finalizing a mechanism that will allow the rotation of units if there are sufficient human resources.

“As for the gradual replacement, starting with those servicemen who are already performing tasks from 2022,” Havryliuk said.

He emphasized that the replacement of the military will be possible only if there are trained personnel capable of replacing those currently serving on the front line.

Mr. Havryliuk also spoke about the replenishment of the defense forces:

  • “We are considering the creation of units of soldiers aged 18-24 who have signed a contract.
  • There are more than 50 recruiting centers in Ukraine that attract both Ukrainian volunteers and foreigners.
