Zelenskyy says Ukraine’s army grew from 200,000 to 800,000 after Russia’s full-scale invasion

What was said

"Naturally, when the full-scale invasion started, there was mobilization. There were lines, people showed up as volunteers, and our army grew from 200,000 to an army of 800,000, while the Russian presence was around 700,000 across all directions on Ukrainian territory, meaning this was a massive onslaught coming at them."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that after Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022, mobilisation and volunteers expanded Ukraine’s forces from about 200,000 to 800,000. In the same remarks, he also gives an estimate that Russian forces totalled around 700,000 across occupied areas and other directions inside Ukrainian territory.
