"This resolution is currently being drafted; it will definitely be finalized, adopted, and made public. There is no betrayal involved. All the details will be available once they are made public and all relevant decisions have been made," the prime minister said.
According to Koretskyi, the skepticism prevailing in the public discussion of changes to the reservation system is unfounded, since no decisions have been made yet.
"There’s nothing to criticize right now. And the fact that the mobilization and reservation system needs improvement is indisputable. The fact that the General Staff needs soldiers is a fact. That’s exactly how we’re working right now.
There is no cause for concern for critical enterprises—those that are truly essential to both the defense and energy sectors. I can say with confidence that there will be no radical changes for these people or for these industries," the head of government emphasized.
What led up to this?

- The National Association of Defence Industry Enterprises of Ukraine (NAUDI), for its part, has called on the Ministry of Economy to withdraw the draft resolution on reducing the mobilisation quota for the defence industry to 85 per cent.
