Ukraine has no plans to lower upper mobilization age limit to 55
Ukraine has no current plans to lower the upper mobilization age limit to 55, presidential office deputy head Pavlo Palisa said, adding that the office supports fixed terms of service and a contract-based military on Aug. 29.
Ukrainian officials have dismissed reports suggesting the country plans to lower the upper mobilization age limit to 55, with the presidential office deputy head stating there are currently no such plans. While a Verkhovna Rada committee member suggested the General Staff is considering reducing the upper age limit to 50-55, this change would not require legislative amendments and could be implemented through an administrative decision.
The Defense Ministry has also confirmed work is underway to overhaul the military conscription system, but specific details regarding the proposed changes remain undisclosed.
