President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that some partners proposed to lower the mobilization age in Ukraine, but there are no such plans at the moment, as it could be dangerous, UNN reports.
"Yes, the partners would like to see the mobilization age reduced. We have mobilization from the age of 25. And we do not yet see why we need to introduce these changes," Zelensky said in an interview with Ukrainian media.
According to him, "today, reducing the mobilization age is dangerous.
"There is a tool for this - the Ministry of Defense has a contract, and any person under the age of 25 can sign it at will. There are no plans to mobilize from the age of 18," Zelensky emphasized.
