Ukraine's president has called up some of the country's military reservists as the threat of a Russian invasion grows, but says there is no need for a full military mobilization.
KYIV, Ukraine -- Ukraine's president has called up some of the country's military reservists as the threat of a Russian invasion grows, but says there is no need for a full military mobilization.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video address to the nation Tuesday night that he had signed a decree to that effect.
"Today there is no need for a full mobilization. We need to quickly add additional staff to the Ukrainian army and other military formations," Zelenskyy said.
He said the decree only applies to those assigned to the so-called operational reserve, which is typically activated during ongoing hostilities, and covers "a special period of time," without clarifying what that means.
