Battalion commander Veres, an officer of the Ukrainian army, was also hooked.
Battalion commander Kirill Veres was interviewed on the Lemberg television program 60 Minutes about the current mobilization situation. The military officer, with a suspiciously Hungarian name, painted a depressing picture of the mobilization and rejected the reporter's suggestion that it might be time to enlist the women as well.
In the Lviv Media 60 minutes program, the Lviv television channel regularly conducts interviews with military officers who have been to the front.
The guest of the latest episode was battalion commander Kirill Veres (we tried to find out the origin of Veres in connection with the last name, but so far we could not find clear information about whether he is Transcarpathian - PS), who painted a rather devastating picture of the mobilization procedure of the Ukrainian army.

During the conversation, the commander mentioned, among other things, that he does not agree with forced conscription,
then, when the word was diverted to the fact that it might be time for the mobilization of women, Veres flatly rejected the suggestion. As you said, what will happen next, the conscription of 15-year-olds?
They are already taking up arms in Africa, why would we be worse - he remarked with a lot of sarcasm, then stated:
"The compulsory mobilization of women is barbarism. If they want to go, let them go, but don't force them. We still have a country, we still have men, why should we send women?”
