TL;DR

Ukraine's President Zelensky announced that the military is seeking to mobilize up to 500,000 additional soldiers as the war with Russia approaches its two-year mark. This comes after setbacks in aid from the US and the EU. Ukraine is facing an ammunition shortage and fears being outgunned by Russian forces. Zelensky emphasized the need for more details before committing to the plan and ruled out mobilizing women. He expressed confidence in Ukraine's ability to resist Russian invasion and discussed plans for drone production and restoring Ukraine's borders.
