The authorities in Kyiv plan to change the rules of conscription in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to attract those who are hiding from mobilization for fear of getting to the front, writes The Guardian, citing a source.
The newspaper reports that the changes are scheduled to be announced this week.
These will include the use of for-profit recruiting companies to conduct a "more targeted recruitment."
Conscripts will also be assured that they will be "engaged in roles that match their skills, and not just sent to the front."
The head of the National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, told the publication that "some people are scared, afraid to die, afraid to shoot."
Earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the authorities were working on a comprehensive plan for mobilization in Ukraine.
As the Financial Times reported, citing its correspondent in the country, Chris Miller, there is a low morale and a shortage of soldiers in Ukraine.
