It is time for the partners and allies to provide Ukraine with the entire range of weapons necessary to the Ukrainian defense forces to carry out the full de-occupation of the country's territory, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.

"Hasn't the moment come for the partners to provide us with all the weapons needed to throw the Russian forces away? It has come," he said at a joint press conference with Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz in Berlin on Tuesday.

In response to a journalists' question on whether Ukraine was able to mobilize the necessary number of military personnel in order to de-occupy its land, the head of state said that he looks at this "absolutely soberly."

"We are having mobilization because of the martial law, because of the state of war, from day one. Of course, I can see that this issue arises in the society. It is not the first day of the war, and if we want to preserve our state, then we must stand up for it," Zelenskyy said.
