Focus on mobilization 2024 – what was reported
As reported, the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security and Defense continues to consider amendments to the draft law on mobilization. In particular, he rejected proposals according to which young people over 18 years of age could be mobilized.
The Ministry of Defense has published information about what Bill No. 10449 provides for on mobilization activities and military training.
Thus, mobilization is offered from 25 to 60 years of age, and from 2025, basic military training will be introduced in higher educational institutions. Certain categories of citizens are exempt from basic military training at universities.
Instead of urgent military service, basic military service is introduced for a period of five months in peacetime and three months in wartime. Citizens over 18 years of age can choose to complete basic military service. 18-year-olds, regardless of having completed basic military training or service, will receive a deferment until they reach mobilization age.
