"Ukraine's Parliament Passes Controversial Law to Boost Military Recruitment"

Ukraine's parliament passed a controversial law governing conscription, aiming to boost troop numbers amid Russia's invasion. The law expands authorities' powers to issue draft notices electronically, but a key provision for rotating servicemen after 36 months of combat was removed, sparking concerns about soldier exhaustion. The law comes as Russia continues devastating attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, with missile and drone strikes causing widespread damage and casualties in several regions. The move aims to address the urgent need for more troops while facing challenges in demobilizing exhausted soldiers and countering Russian aggression.
