Ukrainian Armed Forces Mobilization: Recruitment Requirements, Reservist Call-Up, and Sanctions

Ukrainians living abroad between the ages of 25 and 60 will have to apply to the recruitment centers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Umerov said that it was an invitation to apply to recruitment centers, but at the same time made it clear that those who evaded would face sanctions. The minister added that the sanctions are still being discussed.

The Ukrainian authorities plan to call up another 450,000 to 500,000 reservists, but the necessary financial and political conditions are not yet in place.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi acknowledged that mobilization is a sensitive issue.

Umerov emphasized that justice is important in the issue of mobilization. The mobilized must know in advance how they will be trained and armed, where and when they will serve, as well as when they will be released from service, explained the minister.

Despite the ban, many Ukrainians have fled abroad to avoid conscription.

In recent weeks, Russian troops have noticeably stepped up their attacks along the entire front. Particularly heavy fighting is taking place in the vicinity of Avdiyivka near Donetsk.
