(Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday that changes were needed to improve Ukraine's system of mobilisation as part of an overall strategy to improve the country's military position in the 21-month-old war against Russia.

The issue of altering and fine-tuning the process of mobilisation and recruitment to improve the prospects of Ukraine's fighting force has been under public discussion for some time.
