Quote: "The mobilisation plan that the Verkhovna Rada approved has not yet been implemented, which is a good thing. We do not need to announce a new wave of mobilisation to increase our numbers today. We still have resources from the point of view of the legal plan."

Details: Reznikov noted that Ukraine is suffering losses that are "many times less than the losses of the Russians", but there are casualties still, creating a need to make up for the losses.

Quote from Reznikov: "But to say that today we have a critical situation and that we need to increase [mobilisation] – no, we don’t have that."
