Mobilization remains the main resource for replenishing the ranks of the Ukrainian army, but its current efficiency needs to be improved. General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said this in an interview with the ICTV channel in an interview with the ICTV channel.

While two years ago there was an acute shortage of shells and missiles at the front, today the main demand of commanders has shifted to trained and motivated soldiers ready to perform their duty.

Evaluating the mobilization processes on a ten-point scale, the chief noted that he would like to receive more motivated recruits who undergo high-quality training and do not leave the units.

"At the level of probably six or seven, something like that. I would like to see more quality of training and more motivated people who do not leave the military unit and fulfill all the tasks assigned," he said.

The Chief of Staff emphasized that the key task of the state is to ensure comfortable conditions for recruits and strict compliance with the law in all recruitment procedures.

The general paid special attention to the moral aspect of service, addressing those who are trying to avoid performing their duty in times of enemy offensive. Syrskyi emphasized that protecting the state, children and loved ones is not just a word, but a civic responsibility of every Ukrainian.

"I don't know how they will look each other and their children in the eye after the war. Probably, there should be more of a moral incentive, but also an awareness of their duty," the Commander-in-Chief summarized.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the Ministry of Defense is preparing key changes in the mobilization process and regarding the unauthorized abandonment of military units, as well as separate approaches for assault troops and infantrymen.
