Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a controversial law, days after it was passed by parliament, potentially helping Kyiv to boost conscription to replenish depleted forces to fend off Russia’s continued aggression.
The law also provides soldiers with incentives, such as cash bonuses or money towards buying a house or car, which according to analysts Ukraine cannot afford.Since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022, Russia has captured nearly a quarter of Ukraine, which is outnumbered, outgunned and in desperate need of more troops and ammunition, as doubt increases about Western military aid.It did not include a provision that would rotate out troops who had served 36 months of combat.
But the delay caused public outrage among Ukrainians whose relatives have been fighting without breaks for two years.
