Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, spoke about the complexity of the issue of mobilization in Ukraine and emphasized the importance of serving in the army as an honor and an opportunity for the future.

According to him, some people are a little scared, a little unsure, because they were probably not fully and properly explained that service in the Ukrainian army is not a sentence, but an honor and new opportunities, reports Forbes.

«Yes, it's a duty, a routine, a risk, but at the same time it's true freedom — protecting one's state, serving one's nation. This is a contribution both to one's own and to the general free future. The alternative to this is Russian slavery,» Kyrylo Budanov emphasized.

The head of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Ministry of Education believes that, perhaps, we made mistakes in communication with society, which are now being corrected.

But it is wrong to think that we have run out of human resources, Kyrylo Budanov added.

We will remind that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree on the extension of general mobilization and martial law for another 90 days, until November 9.
