This was stated in an interview with Ukrinform by Colonel Oleksandr Kupinskyi, Head of the 199th Training Center of the AFU Air Assault Forces. "Most of the mobilized personnel who come to us are aged between 35 and 44. I have seen men well over 40 who are physically stronger than young men aged 26–27," Kupinskyi noted. In his opinion, age is a rather relative concept, as everything depends on the lifestyle a person led as a civilian. "In 2022–2023, we conducted very rigorous selection. Of all the people who came to us, we selected only 50–60%. Everyone had to pass physical fitness tests during the selection process.
