Quote: "We are recruiting, and we are replenishing. Unfortunately, there are also losses. We are replenishing those losses in our combat brigades, and we are hiring particular specialists that we need for certain tasks, but I do not see the need for such a mass mobilisation as of today."

Details: Reznikov has recalled that mobilisation has been in force in Ukraine since February, and it has not been completed. As he states, the mobilisation persists in a calm manner, and Ukraine has not exhausted even the "100% potential" introduced by the law in February.

"But, of course, the situation on the contact line can change in any way at any given moment, so depending upon how events develop, a decision will be made by the National Security Council, the President, and the Verkhovna Rada, and then it will be made public that we are increasing the needs of our security sector and defence, and that we need to intensify mobilisation," Reznikov added.
