President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a decree on the conscription of citizens who are in the military reserve.
The Ukrainian president said this in his video address on Tuesday evening, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
"We need to quickly replenish the Ukrainian army and other military formations. As the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I issued a decree on the conscription of reservists in a special period," Zelensky said.
At the same time, according to him, there is no need for general mobilization at the moment.
Besides, the President of Ukraine announced the launch of an economic patriotism program in the country.
“We launch an economic patriotism program. These are additional incentives to localize our production. Targeted programs to support certain industries, reduce tax burden on entrepreneurs, limit tax inspections. These are incentives to attract funds of the population to businesses and the banking system, to reduce VAT on gasoline and diesel, which will help reduce fuel prices. Our goal is to gain economic independence, especially in the energy sector,” Zelensky said in his video address on February 22, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.
