According to Bloomberg, a mobilization bill submitted amid a military request to draft up to 500,000 troops has stalled in the Ukrainian parliament.

Schmygal said the assessment showed that scale was not necessary given the rotations taking place on the front lines and the incoming weapons.

"We will continue the fight if we have support from our partners in artillery shells, in long- and medium-range missiles," Shmygal said.
