The United States has urged Ukraine to lower its minimum fighting age to 18 as part of efforts to bolster its military ranks in the ongoing conflict with Russia.
This recommendation comes amid Ukraine’s ongoing struggle to defend its territory against Russian aggression and the increasing pressure on its armed forces.
The suggestion aims to increase the pool of eligible soldiers and address the manpower shortages that have been affecting Ukraine’s military effectiveness.
Currently, Ukraine has a minimum conscription age of 20, but lowering this age could potentially provide a significant boost to the ranks, particularly as the war has entered a prolonged phase.
The move is seen as controversial by some, with concerns about the risks and psychological impact of involving younger soldiers in such a devastating conflict.
However, the U.S. government sees it as a strategic measure to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities.
The Ukrainian government has yet to formally comment on whether it will adopt the U.S. recommendation.
