"[Economic reservation] must be fair. Finding that fairness is primarily the task of the Ministry of Economy and the Prime Minister of Ukraine," stated the head of state. "The models they showed me, I believe, are not entirely fair yet. It is difficult to choose one profession without considering others. There should be different criteria."
According to Zelensky, key specialists working in critical infrastructure and defense have already been reserved, but "everything else is a complex issue."
"The military fears that this will lead to insufficient new forces, while businesses have a different perspective. If this is the case, what will the criteria for [reservation] be? It shouldn't be the case that only businesses with high profits are considered, what about medium and small businesses?" the president noted.
He added that a balance has not yet been found.
"You can't just swing a sword like that," Zelensky concluded.
