UKRAINIAN MOBILISATION LAW FINALLY SIGNED
With multiple units across the frontline short of manpower, President Zelensky has finally signed the law passed by Parliament early this week.
It overhauls registration laws, adds punishments for draft dodging and establishes a major database of eligible participants. The law applies more or less equally to both sexes.
One of its biggest changes is lowering the age from 27 to 25, which should automatically start bringing in more people in the coming months. The law takes effect in mid-May.
There were 4,000 amendments to the law going through parliament, mobilisation isn’t popular. In some ways this is the governments failure to rouse people from the expectations that ‘someone else will do it’. Well they won’t and they don’t- those someone else’s are already in the front line - if you want your liberty you too have to fight. Or there won’t be a country to argue over.
The law is seen as able to raise as many as 200,000 in the coming year.
Another key area has been the assurance to redeploy what can be seen as too many people in support roles.
