Ukrainian President Zelensky recently stated that the Ukrainian military proposed to recruit an additional 450,000 to 500,000 people into the army to deal with the Russia-Ukraine war. Now Ukrainian Defense Minister Umerov has stated that Ukrainian men aged 25 to 60 overseas are “invited” to serve in the military, but he also seems to imply that anyone who does not comply with the regulations will be sanctioned. But a spokesman later clarified that recruitment into the army was not currently being considered.
The British broadcaster BBC reported that Kyiv suffered setbacks in aid, with the US Republican Party blocking a military plan worth 61 billion US dollars and Hungary blocking an EU financial agreement worth 50 billion euros. The media analyzed Eurostat data for November and found that since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, approximately 768,000 Ukrainian men aged 18 to 64 have left Ukraine and traveled to EU countries alone.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Umerov said that recruiting for service is not a punishment, but an honor. The spokesman said the minister called on all Ukrainian citizens to join the army, regardless of where they are.
