A special contract for conscripts aged 18 to 24 will include a number of benefits. They will relate to education, salary, and housing. This was announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in interview Reuters.
"Combat brigades, experienced brigades, which are famous for their high level of training and professionalism, and above all, low level of losses, because they know how to fight. Together with the Ministry of Defense, they developed such a contract option for young people aged 18-24," — he said.
The President emphasized that "this is not mobilization, this is a contract offer," which provides for a special contract, because conscripts of this category are not of mobilization age.
"There (in the contract, — ed.) are many preferences. There is a very high financial provision, the details will be made public from day to day, there is the possibility of free education, free housing credit. That is, for a young person there is such a package. I know that this contract has been worked out for a year. And it will be offered," — Zelensky listed the advantages.
He added that the contract is already fully prepared, in particular, everything is ready regarding the conditions.
"The issue is in the technical steps. They depend on the Cabinet. Today is the first step. And the first step is for the Cabinet. The second step is for the parliament," — stated the head of state.
At the same time, the president refused to tell reporters the projected number of young Ukrainians they want to enlist in the army under this program. According to him, the results will be available in a few months.
