White House pressing Ukraine to draft 18-year-old troops

President Joe Biden's administration has never been regarded as the most passionate in this country's history, but this is an interesting decision even for them.

According to the Associated Press, "President Joe Biden’s administration is urging Ukraine to quickly increase the size of its military by drafting more troops and revamping its mobilization laws to allow for the conscription of those as young as 18."

A senior Biden administration official, who asked to remain anonymous, said on Nov. 27 that "the outgoing Democratic administration wants Ukraine to lower the mobilization age to 18 from the current age of 25 to expand the pool of fighting-age men available to help a badly outnumbered Ukraine in its nearly three-year-old war with Russia," according to the AP.

According to that same article, "the White House has pushed more than $56 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s February 2022 invasion and expects to send billions more to Kyiv before Biden leaves office in less than months."

White House National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett claimed that "manpower is the most vital need."

"So, we’re also ready to ramp up our training capacity if they take appropriate steps to fill out their ranks," Savett added.
