Ukraine’s military wants to mobilise up to 500,000 extra people, President Volodymyr Zelensky has revealed, as the war with Russia nears a two-year mark.
At a news conference in Kyiv, he said his commanders were seeking “450,000-500,000 individuals”, admitting this was a “sensitive” and costly issue.
He said he needed more details before backing the move, hinting that 500,000 soldiers were already on the front.
His comments come in the wake of aid setbacks from the US and the EU.
How many people do they have of fighting age and condition? Or, are they looking to recruit foreigners?
Their army is comparatively old, since the way they mobilized didn’t tap into the younger generations much. Many guys in their 20s and 30s were excempt from mobilization due to having either very young or three and more children
Not many since everybody left that shit hole of a country when zelensky decided to ruin it
Edit: truth hurts 🤕 eh

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine’s military wants to mobilise up to 500,000 extra people, President Volodymyr Zelensky has revealed, as the war with Russia nears a two-year mark.
This week, representatives of both the White House and the State Department said the US was planning one more military aid package to Ukraine - but that it had limited ability to send more help after that unless Congress acted.
Ukraine is facing an ammunition shortage as it continues to fight occupying Russian forces, following Moscow’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Olena Zelenska, Ukraine’s first lady, warned in a BBC interview earlier this month that Ukrainians were in “mortal danger” of being left to die without further Western support.
President Zelensky’s end-of-year news conference was held in the Ukrainian capital on Tuesday, with the time and venue being kept secret from the general public.
He revealed that Ukraine’s top military commanders had “proposed to mobilise an additional 450,000-500,000 individuals” for the country’s war effort.

Pretty big talk for someone who’s afraid of zombies.
I don’t think conservatives are interested in defending Ukraine. They all worship Vlad Puta.
Hey, I resemble that remark!
