Zelenskyy says Ukraine's army wants to mobilize as many as 500,000 troops | DW News

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his army wants to mobilize as many as 500,000 troops - though he hasn't yet taken a decision on the matter.

At an end-of-year news conference in Kyiv, Zelenskyy went on to say that no-one knows when the war with Russia will end. During a recent trip to Washington, he failed to secure Congressional approval for 60 billion dollars in military funding. Despite this, Zelenskyy said he remained confident the US would not abandon its support for Ukraine.

The president also admitted that the Middle East conflict is undermining international support for his country.
