Selenskyj: Ukrainian army proposes mobilization of hundreds of thousands

The head of state also announced that Ukraine would receive more Patriot air defense systems. "Several new Patriot systems will be in Ukraine to protect our country in winter," said Zelenskyi. Selenskyj stated that he had promised not to reveal the number. However, he said that the arms deliveries were a "very important result" of his recent trips abroad.

Selensky has recently traveled to several Western countries, including the USA, to campaign for further military and political support for Ukraine. Kiev is currently demanding additional arms supplies from its Western allies, who are, however, increasingly reluctant to do so. According to the US-based think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Ukraine is already being forced to ration ammunition.
