Budanov on the compulsory detention reform

Scale of mobilisation evasion
Budanov acknowledged that millions of people remain in Ukraine who evading mobilisation. This creates additional challenges for the state's defence capability.
He noted that the problem of tax evasion is one of the most acute in the current situation, and its scale is significant.
Mobilisation difficulties are not unique
The DIU chief stressed that difficulties with mobilisation are a standard situation for any country at war.
Budanov reminded that similar problems have arisen in the history of other countries and are not unique to Ukraine.
