The Ukrainian government is planning to draft some 15,000 convicted felons into the country's armed forces under the recently signed new mobilization law, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing Ukrainian Justice Minister Denys Maliuska.
The law tightening Ukraine's mobilization rules went into effect on May 18. Aimed at replenishing Ukrainian forces depleted by more than two years of armed conflict with Russia, it mandates that all Ukrainians liable for military service report to conscription offices within 60 days of the law's enactment.
The Ukrainian minister told the newspaper that the initial drive was expected to yield about 5,000 recruits, and that under the best conditions this number could triple.
