Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed a controversial law aimed at boosting conscription to replenish depleted forces in the face of ongoing Russian aggression. The law, passed by parliament and set to take effect in a month, is designed to make it easier to identify draft-eligible men across the country, many of whom have evaded conscription by avoiding authorities.
In addition to streamlining the conscription process, the law offers incentives to soldiers, including cash bonuses and financial assistance for purchasing homes or cars. However, concerns have been raised about Ukraine's ability to afford these incentives amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia.
