Former UK SecDef urges Ukraine to conscript more 'young blood' (avg age on front line over 40!)

Former UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace claimed that Kiev is making progress in its counter-offensive. However, to achieve their objectives, President Vladimir Zelensky needs to deploy a larger number of younger Ukrainians into the conflict, while the Western nations supply them with the necessary weaponry to overcome Russia.

In an article published in The Telegraph on Sunday, Wallace said, “The average age of the soldiers at the front is over 40. I understand President Zelensky’s desire to preserve the young for the future, but… just as Britain did in 1939 and 1941, perhaps it is time to reassess the scale of Ukraine’s mobilization.”

The mass murder of white people continues unabated.

Do you not use youth and women when you’re running out of men?
It’s like they want to run out of Ukranians.

But I was told by absolute military geniuses here that Ukraine was conscripting children from orphanages and all the young people were dead!

Now we hear that Zelensky has been sparing the younger generation.

Isn’t it something how liars just make stuff up.

If they are that old there is a serious problem. They either burned thru their young men or they left the country

I think Wallace wants him to get the younger teens.

This !

You don’t see the very young or very old on the battlefield until the very end when the core military age males are all dead or disabled.

Now in the case of Ukraine, conscription corruption has allowed the wealthy and connected to avoid military service (hmm, like the entire history of the USA) but old men on the battle field means the younger ones initially conscripted are dead.

There is a somewhat famous photo of a crying captured German soldier from WW2 who looks to be about 12.

I can see why you didn’t want to publish the actual article he wrote.

“Ukraine is winning. Now let’s finish the job”
As the counteroffensive breaks down the Russian lines, Britain must make sure the West stands firm

Does anyone in that dumb country Ukraine have the balls to tell this nasty Brit Wallace to send his own UK youngsters because we are done watching ours die for your war against Russia?

I can see why you didn’t want posters to see the actual article written by the actual author, you have a history.

Even for that quote.
“Ukraine can also play its part. The average age of the soldiers at the front is over 40. I understand President Zelensky’s desire to preserve the young for the future, but the fact is that Russia is mobilising the whole country by stealth. Putin knows a pause will hand him time to build a new army. So just as Britain did in 1939 and 1941, perhaps it is time to reassess the scale of Ukraine’s mobilisation.

Let us not pause for one day. Let us see this through. The world is watching to see if the West has the resolve to stand up for our values and the rules-based system. What we do now for Ukraine will set the direction for all of our security for years to come.”

I don’t go to those websites. I think the link I provided covered what he said.

Nobody even remotely informed honestly thinks Ukraine is winning. It’s the Brit calling for younger sacrifices that’s the story.

Fact is, judging by all the video evidence, the average age appears to be much over forty, fifty and up. No surprise, all the corrupted little beggar’s past drafts, mobilizations (6, some sources cite 8) were 18-60 year olds…and now women with specialized skills, doctors, nurses, etc…of course an uptick of mainly Ukie women has been recorded in Poland ( draft dodgers).

During the start of the war, the average age of front line soldiers was 27 ( according to Mercouris and other sources).

The facts don’t support Ben Wallace’s narrative that the Ukies are “winning”.

A depletion of Ukie war aged males, now woman with needed skill sets points to desperation…..it is clear the fat lady is getting ready to sing.

“””I don’t go to those websites. I think the link I provided covered what he said.”””

The link didn’t show the article, or do justice to what your source plucked out of it.

You should not be so limited in your reading, that is how you come with stuff like your German Army tank crew gasping out with their dying breaths to the Russians that they were official active duty NATO troops.

So they are just sitting on this story after the
Russian government outlet releasing it to the world?

When will they release it again?

More:

“ Ukrainian media reports that bill No. 10084 has been registered in the Rada, allowing the mobilization of men over 60 years of age.
They want to raise the military age for ordinary soldiers from 60 to 65 years, and for senior military leadership - from 65 to 70 years.”

Carnage describes the current situation accurately.
