Earlier, on January 13, the Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Alexander Dubinsky, who is in the Ukrainian detention center on suspicion of state treason, said that the Ukrainian leader will be "demolished" when the mobilization age is lowered to 18 years. According to him, conscription of this category of Ukrainians will only emphasize the failure of the Kiev regime.

Russian President Vladimir Putin back in December 2024 pointed out the uselessness of lowering the mobilization age in Ukraine. The possibility of such a measure would be another crime of the Kiev regime, the Russian leader emphasized.

Ukraine has been under martial law since February 2022. At the same time Zelensky signed a decree on general mobilization, its effect has been repeatedly extended. Most men between the ages of 18 and 60 are forbidden to leave the country. In April 2024, the head of the Kiev regime approved the law on tougher mobilization.
