Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a law that lowers the country’s age of conscription by two years to make up for troop shortfalls.
The new legislation lowers the age of mobilization from 25 to 27 years, meaning more young men will be removed from the struggling Ukrainian economy and sent off to the meatgrinder in anticipation of another Russia summer offensive.
Part of Ukraine’s difficulties in finding new conscripts has been driven by the fact that many young men have either fled the country, faked illnesses or offered bribes to avoid being sent to the front lines.
“Conscription has been a sensitive topic in Ukraine since nearly the beginning of the war, with videos of Ukrainian men being scooped off the streets, presumably to be sent to the front,” reports Remix News.
“The country has suffered from a lack of suitable troops after two years of war and ammunition shortages.”
Videos have previously emerged which purport to show Ukrainians who tried to avoid being conscripted being thrown off a bus and beaten by SBU, Ukraine’s equivalent of the FBI.
The average age of a Ukrainian soldier is now over 40 years of age, the same as Russia, underscoring how the whole conflict has been a devastating bloodbath for both sides.
Well over 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed already, forcing Ukraine to call up older personnel.
As we previously highlighted, shocking videos have emerged showing a mentally disabled people on the front lines of the war being mocked by other soldiers.
Last month, General Rajmund Andrzejczak, the ex-chief of the Polish General Staff, said that Ukraine is losing the war.
“More than 10 million people are missing. According to my estimates, losses should be in the millions, not hundreds of thousands. The country has no resources, no one to fight. Ukrainians are losing this war,” said the general.
As we highlighted back in December, Michael Maloof, a former Pentagon official, that the war in Ukraine is effectively “over” because Kiev’s counter-offensive has failed and there is no appetite in America to continue funding it.
Last November, CNN reported on a Time article which quoted a top Zelensky aide as saying, “He deludes himself. We’re out of options. We’re not winning.”

Weird how Zelensky seems to be trying to wipe out the older men first, leaving younger ones who are perhaps more easily moulded? ‘Normally’ younger ones are conscripted first, even if, it is obscene to send any to fight and die in a cause they don’t believe in, or which is itself seriously flawed in any way, as is this one. Especially whilst profiting personally therefrom.

Umm… going from 25 to 27 years is raising the age limit. Did a Chinese version of AI write this article? Numbers are hard.
Your comment says a lot about you.
The obvious question is “to fight for what?” LGBT rights and the destruction of their own culture? There’s nothing to fight for there.
