Zelensky signs bill aimed at mobilising more troops into law

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed into law a controversial mobilisation bill aimed at boosting troop numbers, parliament said Tuesday. The new law toughens penalties on draft dodgers, incentivises conscription and obliges men to keep their military registration details with the authorities up-to-date. A proposal on demobilising long-serving soldiers on the front is meanwhile scrapped.
