President Zelensky made this statement at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, February 15.

Are Allies Demanding a Reduction in the Mobilization Age?

"No one is raising the issue of lowering the mobilization age. Everyone understands our law; it would be a violation of the law. Everyone has started to realize that a contract has emerged, which is very correct. It's not about 'busification',” Zelensky explained.

The head of state noted that this is clear to American partners because their entire army is contract-based.

"No one understands this war like we do. The war is changing; as I said, there are contracts, yes, but let’s be considerate,” the president stated.

Recall that in response to a question from a Novini.LIVE correspondent, Zelensky mentioned that he did not allow the signing of a mineral resources agreement because it is not yet ready.

Zelensky also reacted to Kitt Kellogg's statement regarding Europe's involvement in the negotiations.
