Secretary Blinken: Ukraine has hard decisions to make about further mobilization
Ukraine will need to make difficult decisions on mobilizing citizens to repel Russian aggression. These measures are necessary, says US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
“Ukraine has hard decisions to make about further mobilization, but these are necessary decisions,” Blinken said.
These decisions will be critically important because “even with the money, even with munitions, there have to be people on the front lines to deal with Russian aggression.”
“We have a commitment though, for every person, every soldier, that Ukraine mobilizes. We're committed to making sure that they have the training and the equipment they need to effectively defend the country,” he said.
Reservation of employees liable for military service
At the end of October, Ukraine temporarily suspended reservations for people liable for military service through the Diia app over an audit of already reserved citizens.
After that, Ukraine decided to re-check enterprises for criticality to issue reservations for employees.
