By KYIV. Dec 19 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The military offered to mobilize an additional 450,000-500,000 people, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
“These are still questions from our military, the commander-in-Chief, the General Staff, they addressed the issue of mobilization at the level of our headquarters. The issue is very sensitive, I think. They appealed regarding the protection of our country and potential counter-offensive actions, regarding the deficit. Their view was presented at a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Headquarters, they proposed to mobilize an additional 450,000-500,000 people,” Zelenskyy said at a press conference on Tuesday.
