The Ukrainian government has reduced to 95% the maximum share of workers in the defense industry and energy plants that can be protected from mobilization. The corresponding decision was published on the Cabinet of Ministers website. This limit can only be exceeded with the consent of the Ministry of Defense or the Ministry of Energy. The authorities will also examine the criteria for determining businesses as critical and create a hotline to monitor orders. The general conscription in Ukraine has been in effect since February 2022 and has been extended several times. In April 2024, the minimum recruitment age was lowered from 27 to 25 years. In the past, the Verhovna Rada extended the recruitment by another 90 days, starting on October 31.
