Ukraine's Parliament Approves Controversial Mobilization Law Amid Widespread Discontent

The new legislation eliminates service limits for soldiers, sparking significant unrest among troops and their families.

Ukraine's parliament has passed a mobilization law that removes any fixed service duration for soldiers, leading to widespread frustration among troops.
The elimination of service caps comes as Ukraine faces severe personnel shortages on the front lines, particularly in the eastern regions.
Critics argue the law treats soldiers merely as resources, ignoring their personal sacrifices and the impact on their families.
The law includes measures such as increased pay for front-line service and a new electronic registry to combat conscription corruption.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has yet to announce a formal mobilization, cautious of the potential for public backlash and protests.
