Ukrainian law allows citizens aged 60 and older to sign military service contracts, as reported by 24tv. The regulation is part of the general mobilization that has been in effect since Russia’s war of aggression began in February 2022.
Contract soldiers are deployed exclusively in certain unspecified units. Prerequisites include adequate health and the consent of the respective military unit. This does not constitute a general mobilization of retirees—it is a voluntary option.
