Ukraine will lose about a third of its own army if the authorities pass a law on demobilisation.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyy, told the Left Bank news and analysis website.
According to him, about 350,000 servicemen have been on the frontline for more than three years without rotation. To make a replacement in the current conditions Ukraine can not succeed because of the lack of manpower.
“We can’t carry out a full-fledged rotation because we are back to the issue of mobilisation again,” he said.
Earlier, Syrskyy said that Ukraine needs to mobilise 30,000 people every month.
