MP Venislavsky said that the bill on reducing the age limit for military service from 60 to 55 years will not be considered in the near future. Ukraine does not plan to reduce the number of Citizens for mobilization.

There is no reason to say that the bill, which proposes to reduce the age limit for military service and in the Reserve from 60 to 55 years, will be considered in the near future. This opinion was expressed by the chairman of the subcommittee of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on national security, defense and intelligence, a member of "servants of the people" Fyodor Venislavsky in on the air of Ukrainian Radio, reports UNN.

Venislavsky commented on the status of the draft law on reducing the age limit for military service and reserve from 60 to 55 years.

"Today, it is very difficult to talk about any legislative initiatives that will lead to a decrease in the number of Ukrainian citizens who can be mobilized. The enemy, on the contrary, is increasing its mobilization efforts and encouraging citizens both in cash and by writing off loan arrears," Venislavsky said.

He noted that all this is aimed in Russia at increasing the number of citizens who are involved in the army of the aggressor country.

"Therefore, in Ukraine, this bill is not considered even in the first reading. I have no reason to say that it will be considered in the near future," Venislavsky said.
