There are no plans to reduce mobility age to 55 years, - Palisa

A message about mobilization: there are no plans to reduce the age to 55 years

There are currently no plans to lower the upper age limit for conscription to 55. The Office of the President supports a fixed term of service and a contract-based military.

According to Censor.NET, citing Liga.net, Pavlo Palisa, deputy head of the Office of the President, made this statement during a conversation with media representatives.

"I haven't heard anything about lowering the upper limit of the draft age to 55. As far as I know, there are no such plans at this time," he said.

Thus, according to a representative of the Office of the President, no decision has yet been made to lower the upper limit of the mobilization age.

Palisa supported a clear term of service

At the same time, Palisa advocated for establishing a clear and understandable term of military service.

According to him, the President of Ukraine also supports this approach, and the government continues to seek a way to implement it.

"As for terms of service, I fully support a clear and unambiguous term of service. The President supports this, and we are constantly looking for a way to resolve this issue," Palisa said.

There is talk in Ukraine of a transition to a contract-based military

Palisa also supports Ukraine's gradual transition to a contract-based military. According to him, such a model should provide for terms and conditions of service that are clear to military personnel.

Mobilization is currently underway in Ukraine under martial law.
