Mobilization in Ukraine began to advance better. In particular, thanks to the lowering of the conscription age to 25 years.
General Christopher Gerard Cavoli, the Commander of the U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), has stated this to the Voice of America.
"Ukraine has a problem with how to use its manpower, doesn't it? So, there is a group of people who need to work in factories, in fields, to participate in combat operations. And it is the task of the Ukrainian government to determine this balance. Recently, as you know, they reduced the draft age by two years. Now they recruit people quite quickly," said Cavoli.
He noted that the formation of the army's power consists of three components: people, equipment and training.
"In terms of equipment, a lot depends on the West, but everything is going well. As for training, the Alliance and NATO are committed to helping the Ukrainians in training a large number of people," Cavoli said.
At the same time, he emphasized that the issue of replenishment of the army is strategic not only for Ukraine, but also for the member states of the Alliance.
"Our human resources are not limitless. And we, going into the future, must increase the inclination of especially young people to serve their nations in your military forces," he summarized.
