“Only one in ten people who previously had limited fitness status is now considered unfit for service,” Strana.ua quotes him as saying on its Telegram channel.
According to Gorbach, the current personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is divided approximately equally “between those who are absolutely fit and those who are fit in certain military units.”
In April this year, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry warned that all Ukrainians with limited physical fitness must undergo a new examination within nine months to confirm the diagnosis and determine their suitability for military service.
The other day, the newspaper “Zerkalo Nedeli” published the results of a sociological survey, according to which 46% of Ukrainians do not consider it shameful to avoid the mobilization.
