“Replenishment takes place in any case. Not on a huge scale, but we have both dead and wounded. Today, we have units that need to rest, restore their combat capability. Accordingly, fresh forces should be brought in. Therefore, of course, there is a certain set,” Reznikov said.
Details
He recalled the program from the British.
“You heard, there is a program from the British: 10 thousand of our boys will be trained (before the war – Ed.) in modern conditions and so on. And we are looking for, choosing those who want and who are included in the concept of reserve. Therefore, of course, subpoenas are still given for specific specialties… “, Reznikov said.
Reznikov noted that the summons does not mean that you have been taken into the army.
“This means: please come to the assembly center. Are you not registered? Let’s check. Maybe you are needed just now – then they have the right to call you up during martial law. Or they will say: “Go, you are in the reserve.” Or: “Friend, why didn’t you register?” There is an obligation, according to the law, if you went from Kyiv to Odesa, you must come there and register,” Reznikov said.
The minister emphasized that some did not do this. Someone did not know, and someone specifically did not do this so that they could not find him.
“Sometimes it is done as a punishment for something – for example, breaking the speed limit – I am definitely against that. I believe that this is complete nonsense, because serving the country and defending the country should definitely not be a punishment,” said Reznikov.
