Problems with conscription in Ukraine may arise over time. However, for now, the number of people in the security and defense sector is not decreasing, according to the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov.

"As for the conscription, the number of people in the security and defense sector is not decreasing. Whether there will be issues is a question that may arise over time. How significant they will be and how they may affect various matters, we will see then," emphasized the official.

What Time wrote about mobilization

On October 30, Time magazine published an article about President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the challenges Ukraine is facing.

In particular, the journalists claim that the recruitment into the Ukrainian army practically ceased after the head of state decided to dismiss the regional military commissariats.

Also, according to the material, older men who already have health problems are now being called up to the front lines.
