You posted nothing relevant to the draft.

That's your job, your the one saying he was ineligible.

Prove it...and not by posting western media accounts with dead links.

I did my job by posting the news from the draft you claimed he dodged.

Zelensky was 36 years old in 2014.

Here is a 2014 NBC article about the newly formed military draft that year.

May 1, 2014
“Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov issued a decree on the presidential website Thursday saying Ukraine will conduct a draft for active military service in Ukrainian Armed Forces in order to “to increase the state defense potential.”

The decree says: “Ukrainian male citizens who are physically qualified for military service, over 18 years old and older, but who have not reached the age of 25, and who have no right for exemption from military service” will be conscripted.

The statement says such measures are being taken because of the “deteriorating situation in the east and south of Ukraine … activities of illegally formed armed pro-Russian groups”
