President Zelensky signed the revised mobilisation law, which parliament passed on 11 April, according to the Verkhovna Rada's portal; provisions on demobilisation after 36 months were removed for separate consideration. Earlier in April he signed a separate law lowering the age at which men can be mobilised from 27 to 25, which took effect on 3 April. The measures aimed to replenish forces depleted after two years of full-scale war.
