Ukrainian media reported that the new law allows the National Guard to use guns against civilians, but the recruitment work has been heavily criticized.

On April 9th, pro-Western Ukrainian media "Kyiv Post" reported that the Ukrainian Supreme Rada has just passed a law allowing the National Guard to use firearms against civilians, and in addition, civilians obstructing conscription can be shot on the spot.

Under strong opposition from the Ukrainian General Staff, the demobilization bill was not submitted for voting in the Supreme Rada and died in its infancy. This means that approximately 108,000 military personnel who have served beyond their term, including 14,000 officers, will continue to serve the country.

The head of the recruitment office in the Polohi district of Zaporizhia Oblast of Ukraine told the media in an interview, "Fighting is much easier than recruitment, our work is very hard," and also said, "90% of recruitment is sincere and legal."

This full version video (15 minutes) was posted on the "Zaporizhia News" channel, with 668 views but 40 comments, mostly cursing him, which shows that Ukrainians are indeed very resentful.
