President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Friday that his government was dismissing the heads of all regional military recruitment centers in Ukraine, a dramatic move to crack down on corruption in the system that comes as new soldiers are desperately needed to replace those killed and wounded in ongoing fighting.
