Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday signed a law that lowers the country’s conscription age from 27 to 25 as Kyiv struggles to replenish its troops in its war against Russia.

Zelenskyy said last year that his government was exploring ways to mobilize more than 450,000 new troops to support soldiers facing exhaustion on the frontlines. But the proposal to lower the mobilization age is highly unpopular, and Zelenskyy was reportedly hesitant about signing the bill into law.

Some had proposed mobilizing NATO troops in Ukraine to support Kyiv’s war efforts, but several bloc members dismissed the idea.

There are still some Ukrainian 20-somethings alive.

Z-Man must do everything he can to fix that.

[Husker24]

I figured they were down to 15 year old girls by now.

[MinorityRepublican]

Not many. They were all born in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

[Seruzawa]

Lots of 10 year olds though. Zeeper REMFs are available too.

Thousands of Ukie males fled YouCrayne early on in the War to other Countries.
The ones that stayed will be searched for by Ukraine Military.
More fodder for Ruzzian Meat Grinder.
Fight to the last Ukie Male.
That will teach Putin.

[Kazan]

Younger meat for the Russian meat grinder.

[mass55th]

Why not lower it even more. I hear 7 year old Ukraine girls are even manlier than 25 year old Ukraine males.

[desertsolitaire]

I wonder if at least some of those new deployment have experience in these things of War or if they are mostly fresh new recruits. They look enthusiastic and that helps.

[kiryandil]

They look enthusiastic and that helps.

They look fourteen.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

That’s going to have to drop to 15. Like in 1945. And the women must go, too. And then the American kids.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

The inbred NeoCons have decided this is a sacrifice they are willing to make.

[LukeL]

I mentioned that to a Zeeper and was told that the Ruzzian bots are into memes and are the kids. I guess it is heroic to send high school kids to their death.

Ukraine ping

Long past time. Needs to be 18. Maybe 16, given Russia’s superior manpower base.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_Training_and_Service_Act_of_1940
After the United States entered World War II, amendments to the Selective Training and Service Act on December 20, 1941, made all men between the ages of 20 and 44 liable for military service, and required all men between the ages of 18 and 64 to register. The terminal point of service was extended to the duration of the conflict plus six months. Another amendment, signed on November 13, 1942, made the registered 18- and 19-year-olds liable for military service. From October 1940 until March 1947, when the wartime Selective Training and Service Act expired after extensions by Congress, over 10,000,000 men were inducted.]

Ukraine must be the only existential war in history where the geezers were drafted first. Geezers need blood pressure, heart and cancer medications. That causes logistics problems, and issues with already overstressed medical teams that also have to deal with major trauma cases from combat wounds.

[Reverend Wright]

So drafting 26 and 25 year olds gives them (maybe) 50% of 100,000 per year.

That’s 1000,000 additional troops if they get them all.

Not enough.

Just enough to give the battle hardened troops at the front a break so they can be rotated for some R&R.

That'll destroy the nation if they use every able bodied man.

Ukraine as a nation is finished. So what is the purpose of getting more Ukrainians killed at this point?

The more men killed off, the more young unattached Ukrainian women and girls available for trafficking. This war is a disaster for all concerned. We Americans should not allow our “government” to use our tax dollars to finance it.
