According to him, there is no one to replace these specialists at the moment.
"On the other hand, we have needs at the front. We need to raise an adequate number of personnel for our mechanized brigades. The needs and capabilities of mobilization do not cover this need. That is why we are taking measures to reduce our logistics, supply and maintenance within reasonable limits," stated the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
He added that the headquarters know their job, they do the math.
