    'Everyone can do it!': Ukraine launches army recruitment drive

    Ukrainian defence officials have launched a recruitment effort to try to get civilians to sign up for the army.

    Adverts on job sites, billboards and social media posts have been set up in addition to outreach centres in an attempt to conscript people.

    Candidates who sign up are able to select their precise unit and role, as well as how long they will serve.

    In a campaign video, troops in the 93rd Mechanised Brigade are heard saying: "Everyone can do it!"

    Kyiv is desperate to replenish its depleted forces, which are vastly outnumbered and outgunned by Russia.

    The initial patriotic flood of volunteers who flocked to the army following the invasion in February 2022 has dried up, with many people going to lengths to avoid conscription.

    Current law states that Ukrainian men aged 18 or older have to abide to mandatory conscription.

    But last week, Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a new law which will make basic military training mandatory for all men starting from September 2025.
