Ukraine's mobilization law will bolster Kyiv's ability to continue resisting Russia's invasion in the coming year and beyond, but will come with domestic and international political risks and will not enable it to deal a decisive blow against Russia. Ukrainian parliamentarian Roman Kostenko, the secretary of the Ukrainian parliament's Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, said April 1 that the long-awaited draft law on mobilization procedures and military training will be submitted to parliament for a vote in mid-April. This timeline was confirmed by another influential parliamentarian, Dmytro Razumkov, the former head of President Volodymyr Zelensky's Servant of the People party. Razumkov said that voting on various amendments and its adoption in a second reading could take place as soon as April 10-11.
