Ukraine currently has 11.1 million men aged 25 to 60 who “can potentially be mobilized,” but 565,000 of them have already been granted professional deferrals, said ‘Servant of the People’ MP Dmytro Natalukha in his comments for the state TV.
The General Staff and the Ministry of Defense “know more” about the number of conscripts, which is “fluid” as the conscription campaign is still underway.
Natalukha suggested that about 1.5 million Ukrainian men may have medical exemptions, although the country lacks “regular statistics” on this matter. The lawmaker’s “rough estimate” is that Ukraine can currently count on 10 million conscripts. Most of these are already active servicemen, although “there are those who are abroad.”
The number of Ukrainian men with professional deferrals is also “dynamic” and could make up to 5-6% of all conscripts.
Recent tax data shows that Ukraine has 2.62 million men who are officially employed and can be liable for conscription.

On October 6, the Administrative Cassation Court within the Supreme Court of Ukraine continued hearing case No. 990/80/25, in which the fifth President and leader of the party “European Solidarity”, Petro Poroshenko, seeks to have Presidential Decree No. 81/2025 from February 12, 2025 — enacting sanctions by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) — declared illegal and annulled. The plaintiff claims the document was falsified and that the sanctions are a tool of political persecution of the opposition, contrary to international norms. Government representatives deny the allegations and insist their actions were lawful. Journalists of Bukvy were present at the hearing.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
