Zelensky: The Army Wants to Mobilize Up to Half a Million Ukrainians

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Tuesday that "the Ukrainian army has proposed mobilizing 450,000 to 500,000 people to continue resisting the Russian invasion," but he clarified that "a decision has not yet been made." In a press conference in Kyiv, Zelensky stated: "When we talk about mobilization, we must understand that for one soldier, six civilians work to finance him; how do we find three million additional contributors starting in January?" Zelensky noted that "such mobilization would, in any case, be a highly sensitive issue."
