"We are meticulous": the new Commander of the Land Forces speaks about the mobilization of 500 thousand Ukrainians

The Command of the Ukrainian Defense Forces is very particular about providing and preparing Ukrainian soldiers for the front line. That is why the Ministry of Defense is currently working to ensure that in case of mobilization of 500,000 people into the ranks of the Ukrainian army, the soldiers will be provided with everything they need.

This was stated by the Commander of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the air of Radio Liberty on Sunday, February 18. He emphasized that no mobilized citizen will be sent to the battlefield without appropriate equipment and proper military training.

The military command of Ukraine is closely monitoring this process.

"We are very meticulous about this, especially now, - the training of personnel. A person going to war must gain experience and practice to be ready for action," he said.

Pavlyuk noted that the necessary amount of equipment and weapons for those who will be sent to the front line is available. Therefore, he believes that the Ukrainian military and political command will take care of the issue of adequate training and equipment for the mobilized.

At the same time, he added that there are issues regarding large-caliber equipment and ammunition that the military command is studying and working on.
