Ukraine parliament passes bill to overhaul army draft rules

Ukraine’s parliament passed a bill to overhaul the armed forces draft process, aiming to increase troop numbers due to Russian forces outnumbering Kyiv’s troops by up to ten times in the east. General Yuriy Sodol expressed the urgent need for more manpower. The bill, which did not include harsh penalties for draft dodging, still needs to be signed by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to become law.

Despite the changes, Deputy Commander Maksym Zhorin cautioned that the law will not work miracles on the battlefield.
