The next regular mobilization will bolster Ukraine's Armed Forces by 5,000 to 10,000 servicemen, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said.

"The urgent stage of building up the Ukrainian Armed Forces is over. I stress once again that I will sign a demobilization decree this week. Some 45,000 servicemen will be sent home, while the mobilization will be limited to 5,000 or 10,000 people," Poroshenko told journalists on Tuesday.
