Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky addresses the nation on television after a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council on Sunday Jan 24, 2022 (local time). Everything is under control, there is no reason to panic, he said. Withdrawal of embassy staff by some countries does not portend inevitable escalation, says Ukrainian president. We are aware of everything, we are ready for everything, we believe in the best, and we do everything to this end together with our partners, our diplomats, and most importantly, our military, he said. He said the main topic on the agenda was the situation in eastern Ukraine and authorities are doing their best to de-escalate and find a peaceful settlement of the issue. Embassies of EU countries and many others have kept all their employees in Ukraine. The fact that some countries are taking out some of their diplomats does not mean an inevitable escalation at all; these are subtleties of a complex diplomatic game, he said.

Preşedintele ucrainean Volodimir Zelenski a semnat un decret privind mobilizarea generală a populaţiei ca urmare a invaziei începute de Rusia, transmite vineri AFP.
Potrivit decretului publicat joi pe site-ul preşedinţiei ucrainene, măsura îi vizează pe cei supuşi recrutării şi pe rezervişti şi se va aplica în termen de 90 de zile în toate regiunile Ucrainei.
Anterior, forțele terestre ucrainene au anunțat pe Facebook că „mobilizarea vizează rezervişti cu vârste între 18 şi 60 de ani, ofiţeri şi militari cu grad din rândurile rezervei operaţionale chemaţi să se alăture unităţilor din care au făcut parte în caz de necesitate”.
