There are other reserves: who are they planning to send to the Armed Forces now?

In the parliament, there were suggestions to increase the ranks of the Armed Forces with pensioners and police officers. Member of the Verkhovna Rada Yuriy Kamelchuk stated the need to find new ways to replenish the Ukrainian army’s personnel due to a severe shortage. According to him, retirees and police officers could be a resource that can be used. The proposal sparked discussions among lawmakers, with some expressing concerns about the possible repercussions and the legality of such a move. The idea is seen as a controversial measure to address the ongoing challenges faced by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
