Kyrylo Budanov, head of the office of Ukraine's president, has commented on the country's military mobilization needs as the war continues.
According to Budanov, in order to hold current positions along the front line and prevent the situation from deteriorating, Ukraine must draft at least 30,000 people into military service each month. He stressed that a lower number would not be enough to offset losses and keep troop numbers at the required level.
The statement indicates that Ukraine's military leadership continues to treat personnel replenishment as one of the key challenges in the prolonged war with Russia. The source text does not specify the current pace of mobilization or whether the stated target is currently being met.
