The current situation in Ukraine is under the full control of the state and does not require a declaration of mobilization. However, if Russia launches a large-scale ground attack, it will be announced immediately, Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko has said.

“The current situation in the country is fully controlled. Our Armed Forces and all security forces ensure the safety of citizens,” Poroshenko said during a meeting with the faculty and student activists in Ternopil on Dec. 18.
