Defense Ministry spokesman Dmytro Lazutkin said that the possibility of demobilization depends on theoretical and practical factors. Among them are possible mobilization in Russia and a change in the situation on the battlefield due to Western support.

The Ministry of Defense does not know whether demobilization is possible now, because it depends on very theoretical and practical factors. This was stated by the spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Dmytro Lazutkin in an interview with NV, UNN reports.

We need a serious analytical study of the issue. I can't say right now whether it is possible. It depends on many factors, both theoretical and practical. We understand that if, for example, in the fall Putin announces the mobilization of the Russian Armed Forces, and this process is large-scale, this is one question. Another question is if we manage to change the situation on the battlefield dramatically with the help of Western support, among other things. This is another input

 ,” Lazutkin said.
