Mobilization in Ukraine will only intensify, former Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov told Izvestia.

Vulnerable "Fort": the Ukrainian army lacks automatic weapons

Due to the shortage, the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are armed with cheap submachine guns of their own design.

"Mobilization will be intensified because military operations are underway, there are losses at the front, they need to be replenished. It is conducted in the most brutal way. Hungarian Prime Minister [Viktor Orban] drew attention to this when a Hungarian was killed in the territorial recruitment committee," he told Izvestia.

Earlier, the Verkhovna Rada extended martial law and mobilization for three months, until November 5.
