Ukraine weighs unpopular plan to expand the draft
- Ukrainian men are evading the draft by hiding at home or bribing their way out of battle, with fatigue and lack of rest among existing soldiers posing a significant challenge.
- The Ukrainian government is considering legislation to increase the potential pool of recruits by 400,000, but faces opposition due to the unpopularity of the proposal, raising questions about citizens' willingness to sacrifice their lives.
- The legislation, if passed, would require draft-eligible citizens to check in via an electronic tracking system to prevent dodging, potentially shifting recruitment efforts away from rural areas.
