Putin’s Scare in Kharkiv Grows: Zelensky Signs New Law Allowing Prisoners to Join Military

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has ratified a new law allowing certain prisoners to be paroled if they agree to enlist in the country's military. This legislation, aimed at bolstering Ukraine's military ranks, comes in response to the significant challenges the nation faces in its conflict with Russia. The details of the new law were published on the official website of the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada. Initially submitted to the legislature in March, the bill is part of a broader effort by Ukraine to replenish its military forces. The legislation enables Ukrainian inmates to voluntarily enlist on a contractual basis and serve as long as martial law is in effect. The law specifically applies to convicts with three years or less remaining on their original prison sentences. #Zelensky #Ukraine #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineConflict #Kharkiv #Putin #MilitaryRecruitment #PrisonerEnlistment #WarLaw #MartialLaw #UkraineDefense #Mobilization #ConflictNews #EasternEurope #GlobalNews ~PR.152~ED.103~
