January 15, Zelensky signed the law, which implies the inclusion of young men aged 17 years in the register of conscripts. In addition, eligible women who have expressed a desire to perform military service will be voluntarily taken to the military conscription register.

Ukraine has been under martial law since February 2022. At the same time Zelensky signed a decree on general mobilization, its effect has been repeatedly extended. Most men between the ages of 18 and 60 are forbidden to leave the country. In April 2024, the head of the Kiev regime approved the law on tougher mobilization.
