Russian missile strikes have left part of Ukraine's capital without electricity, after Moscow targeted several cities. The Ukrainian parliament has passed at first reading a bill that tightens army mobilization rules to allow Kyiv to draft more people as the war with Russia nears its third year. "This is not the final decision. There will be a second reading, and changes will be made before it," one of the lawmakers, Oleksiy Honcharenko, said on the Telegram messaging app. The highly-sensitive reforms has to be revised earlier this month after a draft sparked public outcry. Lawmakers and analysts said some parts of it violated the constitution and carried corruption risks. A central provision in the legislation is a lowering teh mininum age for the draft from 27 to 25. The new bill retains some provisions of the initial draft, including the introduction of electronic call-ups and tough penalties for individuals who flout mobilization rules. The reforms are seen as vital for Ukraine to replenish its battlefield manpower.
