According to the new decree, reservists will be part of the Operation "Atlantic Determination", designed to strengthen NATO and its eastern flank. Atlantic determination is reported as an operation in case of unforeseen circumstances. It provides reservists with the same benefits as current servicemen.

The Ministry of Defense representative said that it would probably take about six months to send these reservists to Europe because of the need for a previous notice. They will work in the field of logistics, security or health care.

However, the US army does not participate in the war because Ukraine is not a member of NATO. Recall that on July 13, US President Joe Biden said he made a decision to accept Finland in NATO in just three seconds. The American leader called it "the fastest ratification in modern history.
