Zelensky signs decree on conscription of reservists

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a decree on the conscription of citizens who are in the military reserve.

The Ukrainian president said this in his video address on Tuesday evening, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"We need to quickly replenish the Ukrainian army and other military formations. As the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I issued a decree on the conscription of reservists in a special period," Zelensky said.

At the same time, according to him, there is no need for general mobilization at the moment.

As Ukrinform reported, on February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees on recognizing the independence of the so-called “Luhansk People’s Republic” and “Donetsk People’s Republic”. Russia’s Federation Council unanimously ratified treaties of friendship and mutual assistance, including military assistance, with the pseudo-republics of "DPR" and "LPR".
