2022 Ukrainian Mobilization
General mobilization in Ukraine was announced on February 24, 2022, in connection with the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine forbade men of military age to leave the country so that they could be called up to fight at any time. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy also declared martial law. According to it, all men between the ages of 18 and 60 were considered liable for military service and could be mobilized if they didn't have the right to delay. At the same time, men who are subject to mobilization are prohibited from leaving the country.

Mobilization
Mobilization (alternatively spelled as mobilisation) is the act of assembling and readying military troops and supplies for war. The word ''mobilization'' was first used in a military context in the 1850s to describe the preparation of the Prussian Army. Mobilization theories and tactics have continuously changed since then. The opposite of mobilization is demobilization. Mobilization institutionalized the Levée en masse (engl. ''mass levy of conscripts'') that was first introduced during the French Revolution. It became an issue with the introduction of conscription, and the introduction of the railways in the 19th century. A number of technological and societal changes promoted the move towards a more organized way of deployment. These included the telegraph to provide rapid communication, the railways to provide rapid movement and concentration of troops, and conscription to provide a trained reserve of soldiers in case of war.

During wartime, reservists may be kept in service for months or years at a time, although typically not for as long as active duty soldiers.
