Ukraine Lowers Its Draft Age

Ukraine , Lowers Its Draft Age.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed legislation to lower Ukraine's draft age from 27 to 25, 'The Guardian' reports.

The bill comes as Ukraine's military forces have dwindled amid its ongoing conflict with Russia.

The country, which is back on the defensive after failing to mount a successful assault over the summer, can now mobilize more civilians to fight under martial law.

According to the 'Financial Times,' only about 3.7 million men out of 11.1 million between the ages of 25 and 60 are eligible to be drafted.

.

The remaining men are either "fighting, disabled, out of the country or considered critical workers," 'The Guardian' reports.

Zelensky signed another bill requiring those who were given disability waivers to be reassessed, which could result in more fighters being drafted.

.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a U.S. thinktank, said that while Ukraine's new draft age will help to bolster efforts.

Delays in military aid from the U.S. "may impact the speed at which Ukraine can restore degraded and stand up new units.".

ISW continues to assess that Western-provided materiel continues to be the greatest deciding factor for the Ukrainian military’s ability to restore and augment its combat power, ISW, via 'The Guardian'.

On April 2, Russia's defense ministry said that 100,000 more recruits have joined its army so far in 2024

‘Trump Won’t Abandon Ukraine’: Zelensky Ready for Trump, Calls Anti-Ukraine Rhetoric a ‘Strategy’ [Video]

‘Trump Won’t Abandon Ukraine’: Zelensky Ready for Trump, Calls Anti-Ukraine Rhetoric a ‘Strategy’

In a recent statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed a readiness to engage with a potential Trump presidency, suggesting that former President Donald Trump's previous anti-Ukraine rhetoric might be part of a strategic campaign approach. Zelensky's remarks come amid ongoing concerns about U.S. support for Ukraine as the 2024 presidential election approaches. Despite Trump's past criticisms of U.S. aid to Ukraine, Zelensky and his team believe that these statements do not necessarily reflect Trump's true intentions if he were to return to office. They anticipate that, in pursuit of a strong international image, Trump would likely not abandon Ukraine altogether. This stance indicates a nuanced view within Zelensky's administration regarding the implications of U.S. political dynamics on Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia. As tensions remain high in Eastern Europe, Zelensky's comments highlight the importance of U.S. support in Ukraine's efforts to combat Russian aggression. #TrumpUkraine #Zelensky #USPolitics #UkraineWar #Trump2024 #InternationalRelations #Kremlin #EasternEurope #USSupport #PoliticalStrategy #UkraineCrisis #BidenVsTrump #ForeignPolicy #Election2024 #GlobalSecurity
