Ukrainians join reserve army amid tensions with Russia

Ukraine is shoring up its defences and calling up civilians to join the military reserves in preparation for a possible Russian invasion. A third of Ukrainians say they are ready to volunteer to help the government form up to 25 brigades set to be deployed in cities across the country. They are part of the strategic defence plan - providing popular resistance in case the Ukrainian army is overwhelmed.
