"I urge fellow countrymen who are in reserve to come to the military commissariats. Today I signed a decree on general mobilisation," Pushilin said.
The DPR has prevented Ukrainian special services from engaging in several acts of terrorism in the last several days, Pushilin added.
"Large-scale shelling by Ukraine of the territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics is underway. Only in recent days, our army has prevented several attempts at terrorist attacks by the Ukrainian special services," Pushilin said.
He said that no matter how events develop, the DPR will be able to contain Kiev's aggression.
