The legislation, which was watered down from its original draft, will make it easier to identify every conscript in the country. It also provides incentives to soldiers, such as cash bonuses or money toward buying a house or car, that some analysts say Ukraine cannot afford.
Lawmakers dragged their feet for months and only passed the law in mid-April, a week after Ukraine lowered the age for men who can be drafted from 27 to 25. The measures reflect the growing strain that more than two years of war with Russia has had on Ukraine’s forces, who are trying to hold the front lines in fighting that has sapped the country’s ranks and stores of weapons and ammunition.

Military industrial complex comes to mind every time I hear about this war. In the article a businessman talks about how it would be unfair to pull workers from him, well what would life be like under Russia after a successful invasion? If Texas was invaded there would not be a business open and everyone would have a rifle killing some invaders. My 165lb son with a brown belt in Kung Fu and avid shooter if I did not allow to go fight would run off on his own. None of this draft age starts at 25. How are we as allies funding the Ukrainians when they don't seem to be taking this invasion seriously?
