[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy requested the parliament to issue a national general mobilization order on the 24th (local time).


According to TASS news agency, the Ukrainian parliament announced on its official website that President Zelenskyy's general mobilization bill was delivered to the parliamentary leadership on the same day. The national general mobilization order is a measure to convert military forces and national infrastructure related to national and international emergencies into a wartime system, mobilizing human resources and supplies comprehensively.


Earlier, in a video speech on the day, President Zelenskyy said, "We will distribute weapons to everyone who wants to defend the sovereignty of the nation," warning that a 'curtain of iron' is being re-established due to Russia's invasion of his country.



He added, "Our national mission is to ensure that this curtain does not include Ukraine." He also expressed concern that Russian forces might invade other European countries beyond Ukraine in the future.
