President Zelensky Signs New Mobilization Law Amid Ukraine's Military Struggles

The law mandates registration for men aged 18 to 60, aiming to streamline conscription as Ukraine faces a critical troop shortage.

  • The new legislation requires all men between 18 and 60 to carry military registration documents at all times, enhancing recruitment efficiency.
  • Men living abroad must present updated registration to renew passports, tightening control over military obligations.
  • The law introduces financial incentives for volunteers and penalties for draft dodging, though it stops short of increasing conscription numbers.
  • Public protests and dissatisfaction emerge as the law excludes provisions for rotating long-serving soldiers off the front lines.
  • Ukraine's military, facing a severe manpower and ammunition shortage, is under pressure as Russian forces advance.
