The international age limitation on military drafts is generally 18 years or older. Canada and Australia put it at 17 years old.
Zelensky has imposed two decrees which prohibit the departure of teenagers aged 16-17 from the country, effectively turning Ukraine into a prison camp. Over 8 million Ukrainians have fled from this tyrant. He has burned through the adults in his army. Instead of entertaining any idea of peace or just allowing the Donbas to vote peacefully as he pretends to defend Democracy, Zelensky has turned to mobilizing the children so he does not have to admit he is wrong.
Zelensky is in good company. Time Magazine also named Hitler and Stalin, twice in 1940 & 1943, all Men of the Year.
With a second decree, Zelensky tightened the conscription policy and not just drafted children under 18 but also disregarded whether they were fit or not for military service. On Zelensky’s orders, he is now taking children by force.
He refuses to consider the population of Ukraine but prefers to only talk about how great it will be for investors to buy Ukraine since he is killing off the population. He refuses to negotiate and seems to be intentionally turning the people against him personally.
There are many Ukrainians who are starting to see the light that their enemy is Zelensky – not Putin. The day before the invasion, he told the press that Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons. That was the final straw; Putin even said that in his speech to the nation as the reason to invade, the same as the US concern over Cuba back in 1962.
Even the pro-Ukraine Washington Post, which would love World War III to sell more papers, reported that Zelensky knew when Russia would invade and did not warn his people because of money. “If we had communicated that … then I would have been losing $7 billion a month since last October, and at the moment when the Russians did attack, they would have taken us in three days,” Zelensky said.
If Zelensky is assassinated, the West will blame Russia. There is far more incentive to kill this high-heel pretend head of state from inside the ranks of Ukraine for destroying their country, all on the orders of the Neocons for a strip of land that has been the home of Russians for hundreds of years. Russia did NOT invade Ukraine; it came to support the Donbas, which was supposed to have a democratic right to vote on their separation under the Minsk Agreement. Why should China, Russia, or any country trust the EU and the United States ever again when they do not honor agreements?
The lies are just over the top. Ukraine was free. Just honor the Minsk Agreement; the Ukrainians had their first country in history. But no! Zelensky is lining his pockets while pretending he was fighting for freedom and democracy when that was secured under the Minsk Agreement.
This is going down in history alongside the weapon of mass destruction. The Neocons also bullshitted the world for another one of their endless wars they never win. These people are the real war criminals. They start wars all for their deranged view of hatred.
Zelensky has done nothing but try to drag the entire world into his war against Russia. And for what? A territorial grab where Ukrainians have never lived? Any politician who supports Ukraine and this deliberate attempt to create World War III should be barred from ever holding any public office, including a dog catcher or a sanitation worker cleaning toilets.
He wants to kill off our American children now so he can create the biggest investment project with Blackrock – real blood money. Personally, I would not advise anyone who puts money in Blackrock. They should take a gun, go to Ukraine, and fight like they want everyone else to do so they can make their subsequent big profit over the blood of our children. Pure evil scum! I would not invest with any firm looking to do business in Ukraine.
So... because Z is pulling out all the stops to protect his Country... HE’S the war criminal and NOT Putin who invaded a neighboring Country on flimsy pretense like he’s been doing since his ascention to power.
Zelensky is no angel... But Putin is pure KGB evil.
Les nouilles ne sont pas toutes dans la soupe!
I applaud Trump’s firmness with Russia. That was about a year ago. The context has since changed. Now Trump wants peace and he always believed peace was achievable if the annexed regions remained Russian:

But she didn't make USA-FRANCE! That one came in a pack of ramen. 
That wouldn’t be possible spot. I never left support for the Ukraine.
Biden’s president. I can’t help it. The Ukraine still deserves our support.
It was not the aggressor in this and Russia has popped off it’s mouth about
seven or eight different nations now including our own Alaska.
If you have a position, resent it and defend it. Don’t act like a moron.
There was ONE condition in the Minsk agreements for Russia to honor. It was a simple one. Admit that Russian Federation soldiers were assisting if not directly leading the separatist paramilitaries, and PULL THEM OUT.
Did Russia even get as far as admitting that the Little Green Men, PMC Wagner, and Russian Army Men On Holiday, were in Ukraine?
No. Paranoid Putin put a massive shit eating grin on his face and bare-face lied to the camera, saying that there were no Russian forces propping up the coup being carried out on Russia’s behalf by the likes of Utkin, Pushilin, Girkin.
The bombing of civilian areas (occupied by Russian paramilitaries) was under Poroshenko’s leadership. It pretty much ended four years ago.
None of this would be happening if Putin wasn’t a pathological liar. He knew by January 2020 that the conflict in the Donbas was pretty much over. He also knew by summer 2021 that his own appointed ombudsman in Donetsk had reported 20 straight months of nothing happening in the Donbas to justify even a peace keeping force let alone a full scale invasion.
By January 2021 the number of militants killing each other every month along the entire Ukraine - LDPR line was under 9 a month, with ZERO civilian casualties. So much for bombing civilian populations; that’s Russia’s habit not Ukraine’s.
Not only that, we’ve now had Utkin, Girkin and even Prighozin - three of the Russian guys closest to the Donbas situation than any RF commanders or pro-Putin Swiss commentators or Doug Macgregor or any assorted other useful idiots simply regurgitating Russian vranyo from locations nowhere near the action - admitting that the DNR ombudsman was consistently reporting the reality and the Kremlin was consistently telling the Russian people a pack of lies.
So literally everybody on Ukraine’s side in the Donbas AND every major pair of Russian boots on the ground agreed, Putin lied about what was going on in the Donbas, lied about having nobody to pull out, lied about the nonexistent attacks on civilians, and did all of that to keep his invasion prepping forces where Minsk said they shouldn’t be.
So the single biggest failure of Minsk was it relied on Putin being honest. Putin’s not just dishonest, he revels in his dishonesty.
And so Putin still planned an invasion despite overwhelming evidence that he, personally, was the one preventing any positive movement on Minsk.
Putin, and all his fellow travellers, will be swinging from Russia’s lamp posts long before Ukraine buys half of the the bullcrap in the articles you quote.
And it’ll be the Russian people who’ll do it.
I guess I’m “obviously anti Trump” to you.
Luckily for me, everything you say is meaningless because you’re a filthy foreigner.
Enjoy your baguette Pierre.
Still trying to push those lies? No one is buying them.

Whatever, time will tell. Judging by all the current failed negotiations ( with Turkey, China, Saudi Arabia, etc) the “ starting” point appears to be some form of the Minsk agreements that Ukraine violated in 2014.
What we can be certain of is the Lughansk and Donetsk Independent Republics ( they voted for Independence from Ukraine) and Russia’s Crimea will remain a part of the Russian Federation.
Are you a Sodomite? Just curious.

This opens up interesting commentary. Zelensky’s national “spokeswoman “ is a man who now thinks he is a woman. Like the US, these confused, mentally ill transxyzs have been placed in every branch of government.
That is NOT a formula for “ Victory “. Confusion and immorality has been cast upon Ukraine AND the US…..bodes not well for them.
I think you avoided the question.
My comment: In reply to "None of this would be happening.....if Pootin had kept his armies home, was..
You said: "So if the U. S. is attacked, the U. S. should just surrender?""...like we should have kept our army and navy at home back in the early 1960s when we invaded Cuba and sent our navy...to meet the Russkies (blockade)."
Please be so kind as to answer why it is NOT okay for Pootin to invade Ukraine when threatened with an ever-expanding NATO with missiles placed right on his border and with Ukraine planning nukes?
Without a dramatic change in the dynamics of the war, that is likely.
Of course, you were confidently posting, less than a month ago, that the nation of Ukraine would not survive the year, much less the war -- All to (sic) obvious now, Ukraine 1991-2023, the quicker the better -- and here you are discussing the terms of the coming Russo-Uke agreement!
That is quite a come down. Such a disappointment for a Putin Fanboi. All the Ukrainian washing machines that won't be stolen, and Ukrainian women that won't be raped
Despite claims to the contrary, Ukraine fulfilled the requirements of Minsk by granting autonomy to Donetsk and making provisions for a referendum. Rather, it was Russia who violated the Minsk Agreement by not withdrawing its forces, by not handing over the international border to Ukrainian control, and by blocking the referendum that Ukraine had planed.
Nor did Luhansk and Donetsk vote for independence. The 2014 referenda, despite being conducted under Russian military occupation, were for autonomy within Ukraine, not independence or union with Russia. As for the 2022 referenda, they were a farce on the face of them.
Russia extends eligibility for military call-up by at least five years
Russia just raised the age at which a man may be drafted by three years, to 30, the age at which prior service enlisted men may be forced back into service by ten years, to 55, and the age at which prior service junior, senior and very senior officers may be forced back into service by five years, to 60, 65 and 70!
But Col. Pavel appreciates dullta7's support of the Rodina, and wants to buy him a drink when he gets back from deployment. Za Zdarovje!
How long until the USA declares war on Russia? End evil with a first strike on Russian Sub-humans. When Biden’s done—Russian will only be spoken in Hell. Just give nukes to Kiev and watch them take out Putin for good. As Ukraine was attacked they are fully justified to attack Russia with any weapons from Germ Bombs to Nukes. A few nukes could burn out every computer in Russia. Then Zelenskyy could march into Moscow and end all evil in the world. Without Russia—all problems would be solved overnight—Just like they were when we defeated Hitler.
Not so funny when one realizes he is preparing/ prepared to fight NATO. He would be a fool not to, judging by their actions.
…and yes, I support his right to defend his nation against NATO expansion/ aggression.
Yep. Putin and Pavel are going to make Ukraine regret it ever invaded Russia.
