President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to provocative accusations of alleged forced mobilization in Ukraine, according to his interview with Ben Shapiro, founder of the Daily Wire.
The head of state noted that each individual case of violations of the legal mobilization procedures is carefully examined by the Ground Forces and the Ministry of Defense, which are responsible for this process.
According to the president, opinions about mobilization may vary, but our mobilization has been taking place since the beginning of the war under the legislation, under martial law.
"So the country is in a war. That is why we have mobilization. We want the war to end, we want everything to end, we want to have a fair peace, calmness, and there would be nothing, not the mobilization, not the martial law. But as long as the war as long, we have the law, there is the mobilization," said Zelenskyy.
Mobilization in Ukraine
Zelenskyy also mentioned in his interview with Ben Shapiro that between 600,000 and 900,000 people volunteered to serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
On April 18, Zelenskyy extended martial law and mobilization for another 90 days.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers does not plan to lower the mobilization age.
