"The whole plan will be worked out. To be honest, we have already decided on some issues, but I would like people to understand the whole action plan, where we are going, and what challenges we’re facing... The comprehensive plan on this issue will be out there next week. I really believe it’ll be next week. At least, this is the task set before Zaluzhnyi, Umerov, and other ministers because a lot depends on economic issues so this needs to be settled. They will all report comprehensively next week," Zelensky added.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, at the meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Staff on November 24, the issues of mobilization, demobilization, draft offices, physicals for draftees, rotation, and conscript service were discussed.
