Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signed into law a bill overhauling army mobilization rules, according to the parliamentary website.
The law will come into force a month after it is officially published. It obliges men to update their draft data with the authorities, boosts payments to those who volunteer, and adds new punishment for draft dodging.
