Withdrawal of troops from the frontline: conditions

Ukrainian military personnel participating in the battles against Russia since 2022 will gradually be withdrawn from the frontline.
The development of a mechanism for training and replacing troops currently on the front line is nearing completion.
The replacement of military personnel will begin with those who have served since 2022, said Deputy Minister of Defense Ivan Havryliuk.
The withdrawal of soldiers will only take place when there is a sufficient human resource available for training and replacing the troops.
The Deputy Minister of Defense noted that busification is a 'shameful phenomenon,' and all efforts are directed at preventing this phenomenon.
Work is being done on the mechanism to cover the personnel shortages at the front positions.
The possibility of creating units from military personnel aged 18 to 24 who have come to serve under contract is being considered.
Recruitment centers have also been opened, and work is underway to attract foreigners to perform tasks at the frontline positions.
In Ukraine, there are already 50 recruitment centers for accepting citizens of Ukraine on a voluntary basis.
Work in this direction continues.
Earlier, the Cabinet of Ministers dismissed Ivan Havryliuk from the position of First Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine.
In April this year, about 350,000 military personnel could have been demobilized.
The Ministry of Defense planned to complete work on the bill for the release of military personnel by December 18, 2024.
Ukraine's mobilization reserve consists of 3.7 million people, while the total number of men aged 25 to 60 is 11.1 million.
