Ukraine lacks weapons, not people, to fight. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a press conference in Brussels, UNN reports.
Details
During the press conference, journalists asked Zelenskyy about the partners' proposal to lower the mobilization age.
Write that the President of Ukraine said that the current issue is the need for weapons, not people. In particular, Zelensky reminded that the Ukrainian army still has “bare” brigades that are not staffed.
It seems to me not very fair when we talked about training 14 brigades, at least 12 brigades abroad. A year ago, this was supposed to start with the United States and our European colleagues. And today, we have one brigade that we trained in France and one that is now additionally training in Germany, where the United States is training. And if we are talking about two brigades with this year's block, we are talking about weapons, not people. That is, there are not enough weapons, not enough people. Of course, there are always not enough people
Zelensky emphasized that full staffing of brigades is necessary to protect the state.
Recall
The President of Ukraine has stated that modern warfare is a war of technology, not trenches and trenches. The priority is to save the lives of young people and the technological capability of the army, not the age of the military.
