Quote from Danilov: "Today, a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff was held, and a lot of attention was focused on this issue to ensure that the matter of recruiting the people we need for the country's defence capability is addressed fairly.

With regard to the mobilisation of people who had been conscripted, the president asked, and the military has agreed, that these people should be demobilised in the near future. This process will be carried out, and we have ascertained how many [people to be demobilised] there are."

Details: Danilov said conscripts whose term of service has come to an end but who want to stay on can do so by signing a contract. The others will be demobilised.

In his evening address, Zelenskyy confirmed that the Staff had discussed mobilisation and demobilisation, rotation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the issue of conscripts who had begun their military service before the full-scale invasion.
