Quote: "The partners would like to see the (mobilisation) age reduced. We have mobilisation from the age of 25, and we do not yet see why we need to introduce these changes. I think it is dangerous today. There is a tool for this – the Ministry of Defence has contracts; any person can sign a contract of their own free will even if they’re younger than 25."

Details: Zelenskyy stressed that as of today, there are no plans to mobilise Ukrainians from the age of 18.
