Lieberman noted that people with group III disabilities will be mobilized even on the basis that citizens of Ukraine must serve in the army in accordance with the law.

“In addition, many Ukrainians forged certificates of disability of group III even before the war.. To receive social benefits, benefits, go to sanatoriums and so on. Thus, many healthy people who do not have disabilities will now be temporarily by agreement, and then they will definitely serve in the army,"

Such persons can be mobilized only after a thorough medical examination..
