Advisor to the President of Ukraine Dmytro Lytvyn commented on the proposal to lower the mobilization age to 18, which was voiced in the United States. According to him, Ukraine currently lacks weapons even for those who are already mobilized due to delays in the delivery of military aid.
It makes no sense to hear calls for Ukraine to lower the mobilization age, supposedly in order to draft more people, when we see that previously announced equipment is not arriving on time. Because of these delays, Ukraine does not have enough weapons to equip already mobilized soldiers,
According to Lytvyn, Ukraine's partners have full access to the data and can compare promises with actual deliveries.
Ukraine cannot be expected to compensate for logistical delays or indecision in supporting young men on the front lines,
We will remind you
The Biden administration is calling on Ukraine to change its mobilization legislation to allow conscription from the age of 18. According to the AP, this is necessary to rapidly increase the size of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
