Zaluzhnyi on recruiting and mobilisation: Dismissed military enlistment officers were professionals

Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine's Armed Forces, believes that it is still too early to evaluate the new recruitment project for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and it is necessary to return to the existing framework in matters of mobilisation.

Quote: "It is still a little early to evaluate recruiting, and as for mobilisation issues, it is not necessary to strengthen it but to bring it back to those limits, to those frameworks that worked before."

Details: The general emphasised that now it is a problem of soldiers fighting on the front line, as they need replacement.

"It (the mobilisation process) just needs to be brought back to the framework, in which they worked before," Zaluzhnyi added.

Asked about how the dismissal of the regional military enlistment officers affected the effectiveness of mobilisation, Zaluzhnyi stated that "they were professionals, they knew how to do it, but [they're] not [working there] anymore."
