Ukraine digs defenses, fears it could lose Russia war with U.S. aid delays
Ukraine has been scrambling to recruit more troops to boost its depleted ranks, exhausted by two years of war.
The country’s parliament passed a new law on mobilization Thursday after months of revisions from a government wary of public pushback. Still, Ukraine will have to find new conscripts from somewhere if it is to keep up its defensive fight on the battlefield, and Zelenskyy’s government already moved to lower the draft-eligible age for men earlier this month.
