Following the enactment of the updated mobilization law in Ukraine, there was a spike in the number of mobilized citizens; however, the mobilization rate has since decreased.

This was stated by MP Fedir Venislavskyi, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence, during a briefing, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Mobilization figures are classified information, so I can’t disclose specific numbers, but approximately, I can say that after the new edition of the law ‘On Mobilization Preparation and Mobilization’ was adopted, there was a certain surge in mobilization, then it declined somewhat, and for several months now, it has remained stable,” the lawmaker noted.

According to him, the current figures are sufficient to replenish losses within the Defense Forces.

“Objectively, the war has been going on for nearly three and a half years, and people are tired. Of course, we would like the pace of mobilization to be higher. But the current rates are enough to hold the front line and repel the enemy at the current level,” the MP emphasized.
