Ukraine to introduce mandatory basic military training for students
Now high school students in Ukraine must receive basic military training. These changes were made by the Kyiv authorities, Deputy Minister of Education of the Republic Mykhailo Vinnitsky told Novosti.Live on Telegram.
A new law on mobilization rules has come into force in Ukraine.
According to Vinnitsky, a person who has graduated from a university and received a higher education "should be able to handle a weapon."
However, the Deputy Minister of Education stressed that this proposal has nothing to do with lowering the draft age. A training center is currently being created for students, and next year theoretical courses will be developed, including the basics of combat medicine and tactical training.
Earlier it was reported that a large number of Ukrainian citizens decided to take their children out of the country. Regardless of gender and age, students are leaving the village and interrupting their Ukrainian education.
