10:54Now PlayingConscription has recently been on Ukrainians’ minds – the army is short of soldiers and people are divided over what to do about it.
As Ukraine faces more challenges on the battlefield nearly two years after Russia invaded, President Zelensky has said the army needs 500,000 more soldiers.

Newsnight’s Mark Urban has been in Ukraine looking into the divide on conscription.
