In recent statements, Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, did not rule out the possibility of another mobilization appeal by the armed forces. This was reported by Ukrainian radio news outlets. The stance emphasizes that there is no anticipated change to the ongoing mobilization that began on February 24, 2022 and has continued since then.
Officials note that the mobilization is proceeding calmly and in accordance with the initial plan. The first phase is not yet finished, and there is no need for alarm, as operations appear to be tracking with the predetermined schedule. Danilov underscored that the army may issue an additional call, but the scope would remain within the bounds set by the February 24 last year framework.
Danilov added that the mobilization is advancing on schedule and not surpassing the limits approved at the outset of the campaign. The emphasis remains on maintaining control and ensuring that measures align with strategic objectives.
There were reports from a former Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada deputy that a draft law was registered in Parliament to enable the call of MPs, civil servants, and other public personnel as part of a broader mobilization effort, described as a measure of fairness. This potential development signals ongoing consideration of additional contributors to national defense via constitutional channels.
Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky indicated that the military command would mobilize more personnel to reinforce forces. Discussions about expanding the pool of those who serve have been part of public commentary and official briefings, reflecting evolving needs on the ground.
Meanwhile, discussions in international circles, including United States policy discourse, have highlighted perceived threats and the role of allied support in sustaining defense readiness. The situation remains dynamic, with authorities signaling cautious but deliberate steps to adjust deployment in response to security requirements.
