Description
People on the streets of the Ukrainian capital express mixed views on the updated law on mobilisation. After an initial outpouring of patriotism in the months after Russia's invasion began, the realities of the battlefield -- and mobilisation -- have largely set in among Ukraine's population. Heavy casualties and almost two years of grinding trench warfare have sparked a fierce debate on the future of the draft in the country, an ever more pertinent topic as the army struggles to fill its ranks. President Volodymyr Zelensky warned last month the military wanted to mobilise up to half a million people to battle the 600,000 or so Russian soldiers deployed in Ukraine. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
