Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a bill on Tuesday to lower the conscription age to 25 in a bid to expand the ranks of his military ahead of what promises to be another tough year defending against Russia.
With the Spring Thaw quickly approaching, fighting on the ground in the war between Russia and Ukraine is likely to again intensify. Last year, Kyiv launched a highly touted yet ultimately unsuccessful “counter-offensive” attempting to recapture lands seized by Moscow.
This year, with dwindling manpower and alleged shortages of weapons and munitions, Ukraine appears content with digging in, while Moscow appears to be set to launch another offensive to seize more territory.

He should drop it to 17.
“He should drop it to 17.”
Really. I was surprised to see how high it is now.
He doesn’t care who dies, so long as he can keep the grift flowing.
It’s not 18??
Yeah I never understood when people would say their army was so old.
Never heard of such a high draft age, especially in the middle of a war this big.
Maybe someone can explain why conscription age is so high - 25 seems ridiculously high, and not at all “controversial.”
This is a country scrounging for troops and money - yet they’re not using prime military age men?
Kill off the older more conservative ones and repopulate with the young liberals?

“This is a country scrounging for troops and money - yet they’re not using prime military age men?”
Reflect on the premise of Logan’s Run. The strategy involves utilizing warfare to decrease the older demographic within the society. By the age of 25, most men have already fathered the subsequent generation.

It was volunteers that enter service before the age of 27.

Likely many older men owned and worked small farms. With them gone, the land becomes an asset to be sold by bereaved families. One reads from sometime back:
"Ukraine might not look like a good financial investment after a year at war with no end in sight, but Harvard, Saudi Arabia, a handful of oligarchs, and the United States investment manager The Vanguard Group see it differently. They are just a few of the investors who have been buying up Ukrainian land – and its rich, fertile soil – en masse, while many Ukrainian farmers argue it should stay in Ukrainian hands.As always. Cui bono? The question is easily and sadly answered.Additionally:
"Still, some foreign companies are sending a clear signal to international businesses that it is worth investing in the Ukrainian economy without waiting for the active phase of the war to end. For example, Nestlé has announced that it will concentrate its European production of instant noodles in Ukraine.
"In general, BlackRock Continental Europe indicates that Ukraine expects its post-war financing needs to reach US$350-750 billion by 2032, much of it to be used for restoration, reconstruction, and modernization. According to the Ministry of Finance, BlackRock intends to create a special fund in Ukraine to attract foreign investment."
He obviously has not killed off enough of his breeding population yet
Bidenskyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy has as much of these soldiers’ blood on his hands as Zelenskyyyy the clown has. They are allowing this war to drag on while they piss, moan, and throw tantrums for their college kiddie voters about Israel kicking the Hammies’ asses.

He should drop it to 15 and inbred NeoCons’ children should be drafted and deployed with them.
25??
That’s dropping it??
Hitler didn’t need no stinking Bill.
Thank you. It’s the only reason that actually makes sense.
