US Calls on Ukraine to Lower Draft Age to 18 to Boost Troop Numbers

ai generated text

The Biden administration is urging Ukraine to lower its military mobilization age to 18 from the current age of 25. This request is based on the administration's assessment that Ukraine needs more troops to effectively counter Russia in the ongoing war. The US has provided over $56 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the start of the invasion. The White House is concerned that Ukraine has not been mobilizing and training enough new soldiers to support its military efforts.

    1. There are no easy answers to Ukraine's serious manpower shortage, but lowering the draft age would help.
    2. These are obviously difficult decisions for a government and society that has already endured so much due to Russia's invasion.
