Reducing the draft age in Ukraine is meaningless because there is not enough weaponry for the soldiers.
This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s advisor, Dmytro Lytvyn, while commenting on media reports that the U.S. is demanding this from Ukraine.
“It doesn’t make sense to see calls for Ukraine to lower the mobilisation age, presumably in order to draft more people, when we can see that previously announced equipment is not arriving on time. Because ofthese delays, Ukraine lacks weapons to equip already mobilized soldiers,” Lytvyn wrote on the social media platform X.
Earlier, the Associated Press explained why the White House is urging Ukraine to draft 18-year-olds.
According to a senior administration official, the “pure math” of the situation Ukraine is currently in confirms that it needs more troops for combat operations.
It was previously reported by the Ukrainian President’s Office that the U.S. is pressuring Ukraine to lower the mobilization age to 18.
