Ministry of Defense: We will still recruit necessary number of people, either through recruiting or through mobilization

Ukrainians are urged to join the ranks of the Defense Forces using the recruiting mechanism, but it does not cancel mobilization. In any case, someone needs to defend the state in combat positions, and the state will still recruit the necessary number of people to the army.
This was stated by the head of the press and information department of the Ministry of Defense, Illarion Pavlyuk, during the telethon, Censor.NET reports with reference to Liga.net.
He emphasized that when the Ministry of Defense talks about the importance of recruiting, Ukrainians may get the wrong impression that "from now on only those who want to protect Ukraine, and those who don't want to - that's why it's unnecessary."
Pavlyuk noted that this is not the case, and with the help of recruiting, a citizen can not wait for a summons, but voluntarily join the Armed Forces, choose his specialty and place of service. However, "someone has to physically defend the country because the enemy will not destroy itself," he emphasized.
"We are, of course, interested in recruiting as many people as possible through recruitment mechanisms. But, since there is a need to protect the state, we will still select the number of people needed to protect Ukraine. Through recruitment mechanisms or mobilization mechanisms - we will still have to select <…> What are we going to do, say: "Sorry, we don't want to defend the country - okay?" Pavliuk said.
He emphasized once again that recruiting does not cancel mobilization.
