The judicial reform in Ukraine is aimed at artificially creating compliant judges
February 1, 2024While Ukraine seeks to replenish its depleted army, a rift is growing among its civilian population. Against the backdrop of Russia’s ongoing offensive actions in the east and south, as well as delays in new packages of Western military aid, the leadership in Kyiv is under increasing pressure to bolster its defense by finding more soldiers, reports NPR.
The Ukrainian parliament is already working on a draft law aimed at reforming the conscription process in the country. Meanwhile, across Ukraine, a growing awareness that the bloody conflict may drag on for many years has placed the question of who should be obliged to fight, for how long and in what capacity at the forefront.
In Ukrainian cities, grocery stores, workplaces and the bustling streets of Kyiv, irritation is mounting and a growing divide is evident in Ukrainian society. Some believe that more people should serve in the army, while others are horrified by such a prospect. Men are afraid to leave their homes., women worry about their husbands and mothers are concerned for their sons.
