Zelensky signed several laws on mobilization on April 2, one of which lowered the minimum age of compulsory military service from 27 to 25, making men eligible for the draft from age 25.
The current draft age in the USA is 18-25.
Can’t wait to hear ill-informed critics explain how evil Zelenskyy is for sending children to war
Yes, it’s 18 here.
I was a bit worried when I saw the headline for that reason. I forgot the US is an outlier with being perfectly OK with sending kids to war before they can legally drink alcohol
Lol, It’s crazy that people have been misusing terms like Zionist and Nazi so frequently that they’ve lost their inherent meaning.
How exactly does one become both a Zionist and a Nazi?
You’re so propagandized that you are conflating two opposing ideologies.
In fairness, the US isn’t drafting people, let alone consigning draftees to certain death like Zelensky here is doing. It’s probably my prejudice from the US draft age, but I’m surprised the minimum is so high still in Ukraine considering how desperate they are to field more men.
Obviously the US consigns plenty of people to certain death, but not by drafting them.
I was just kind of shocked that their conscription age was so high considering the US draft age ends at their new low end. When I first read the headline I assumed they were going to start drafting 16 year olds.
Can we please stop making people fight if they don’t want to?
I recommend we force our leaders to fight to the death since they believe in the war so much and think its so necessary.
Jesus fucking christ
As an ill-informed critic, this explains how evil Zelenskyy is for sending children to war
