The end to years of brutal fighting is in sight for some of Ukraine's battle-weary troops
Ukraine plans a phased demobilization of its longest-serving troops, starting by late autumn 2026, based on military service and combat days. Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov stated that soldiers who have served since 2014 or 2022 may be discharged, though the exact number remains unclear.
