Everything necessary for our state, our brigades, should be calculated under this specificity," he emphasized.
Additionally, the meeting discussed matters regarding mobilization.
"Everyone in Ukraine understands that changes are needed in this sphere. And this issue is not just about the number of those who can be mobilized. It is about terms - both for those currently in the military, for demobilization, and for those who will join the military. And this is about conditions. These are comprehensive things that the military leadership and the Ministry of Defense must work on and present at the Staff meeting for approval. Today there were some proposals - I am waiting for comprehensive decisions," the President added.
