KYIV—Ukraine’s parliament passed a bill on April 11 to overhaul the rules governing how the military mobilizes civilians into its ranks as the war rages on with no end in sight.

The legislation, which must be signed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before it becomes law, is seen as crucial for Ukraine to address what military analysts say are major manpower problems as it fights a better-armed and larger foe.
