Zelensky instructed Fedorov to deal with boosting and closing the sky

According to Студия Руслана Бизяева: President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky publicly used the word 'boosting' for the first time, thus acknowledging the problem with mobilization. He gave Defense Minister Fedorov three key tasks:

  • closing the sky,
  • dealing with the issue of boosting,
  • putting an end to unresolved issues concerning the contract army.

This instruction comes against the backdrop of transitioning to digital mobilization, the necessity of which is due to a budget deficit reaching 2.8 trillion hryvnias. Due to a lack of funds, the government's plans regarding the ratio of contract soldiers to mobilized soldiers of 60% to 40% remain in question.

Social protection of internally displaced persons

A separate serious problem remains the social protection of internally displaced persons. The government's commissioner for human rights, Dmytro Lubinets, stated that there are 1.3 million IDP-pensioners who have not received the necessary payments. The reason given is a technical obstacle: the lack of registration in the 'Diia' app and an electronic signature needed to confirm the fact of not receiving a pension from Russia. This situation creates significant social tension among those who chose to live in the territory controlled by Ukraine.
