In order to ensure the defense of the state, the declaration ordered the conscription of conscripts and reservists for military service, as well as their delivery to military units and institutions.

The decree said that the mobilization would be done within 90 days. It will provide personnel, vehicles, infrastructure, and land use for the Ukrainian government and military.

Within the 90-day term, the General Staff of the armed forces of Ukraine will determine the number of conscripts, reservists, and vehicles.
