President Joe Biden’s outgoing US administration is urging Ukraine to lower the country’s conscription age, in a desperate bid to increase its military ranks, the Associated Press (AP) reported on Wednesday.
A senior US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the news agency that the White House believes the move is essential in order to bolster Kiev’s fighting capabilities.
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has previous pledged not to force his country’s youngest adult men to enlist.
“The pure math is that Ukraine needs more troops,” the official told the agency. “We are talking about increasing the pool of fighting-age men to sustain the fight.”
Ukraine’s lowest conscription age is currently set at 25, but the Biden administration believes lowering the age to 18 will help meet the urgent need for soldiers, the agency added. According to the source, Ukraine has indicated it needs at least 160,000 more troops, but the US government estimates that even this number may not be enough.
Yes. And 10 million russians have been killed by nato so far. You happy? Now excuse us plz and scoot over there kwa biden and the panjeet bitch in peace. Watch us work.
pure nonsense , now that Trump has won the senile Bidens executive decision making should have ended immediately the electoral votes clocked 270. he should be ceremonial till uncle Trumps swearing in.
Trump already said he will no longer fund that bullshit war, either Zelensky goes to the negotiation table or he dies.
but ni kama anatumia akili by refusing Bidens Demoncrats ideas, i bet Biden, HomoObama, MICHAEL OBAMA, Pelosi, Kamala , Hillary and Bill gates hold special rituals and drink human blood when young Ukrainians die . takataka ya watu
Do you know which Amelia president was the first to aid Ukraine? Even @WasikA can remind you when trump sent javelin missiles to Ukraine at the start of the war.
Trump after 2017 eh? And what did obummer send between 2014 and Jan 2017? Should we expect you to fish ‘facts’ from our old behind for the rest of your days on this planet?
Foremost, the plan says it should become “a formal US policy to seek a ceasefire and negotiated settlement.”
“I am very pleased to nominate General Keith Kellogg to serve as Assistant to the President and Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social channel. “Together, we will secure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, and Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN
Diplomacy ni yako na ya watu wa kwenu. Sisi we dont want diplomacy. We are not doing any more diplomacy. We are going the whole way. Watch us dismantle your shithole country buana. Ndio utajua you nato white guys dont monopolise violence and war.
Bana. Why do we want to stop when vitu zetu zinaenda vizuri in the donbass? Mzito putin alisema there will be not another minsk 2. Hii diplomacy ya @Simiyu22 apeleke huko joska, we dont need it.
Russia is winning and are not going to fooled by EU ceasefire. Putin will not negotiate with illegitimate government. Labda a new president. Zelensky will be killed or imprisoned.
Absolutely. Now they are not even talking about their harebrained idea of kursk. Nasikia they want to be given thaad becoz oreshnik. The much talked about f16s have joined abrams in the rust piles. Hii imeenda. @Simiyu22 in his nato hq joska branch is not current with intelligence as usual.
