Ukraine , Lowers Its Draft Age.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed legislation to lower Ukraine's draft age from 27 to 25, 'The Guardian' reports.

The bill comes as Ukraine's military forces have dwindled amid its ongoing conflict with Russia.

The country, which is back on the defensive after failing to mount a successful assault over the summer, can now mobilize more civilians to fight under martial law.

According to the 'Financial Times,' only about 3.7 million men out of 11.1 million between the ages of 25 and 60 are eligible to be drafted.

.

The remaining men are either "fighting, disabled, out of the country or considered critical workers," 'The Guardian' reports.

Zelensky signed another bill requiring those who were given disability waivers to be reassessed, which could result in more fighters being drafted.

.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a U.S. thinktank, said that while Ukraine's new draft age will help to bolster efforts.

Delays in military aid from the U.S. "may impact the speed at which Ukraine can restore degraded and stand up new units.".

ISW continues to assess that Western-provided materiel continues to be the greatest deciding factor for the Ukrainian military’s ability to restore and augment its combat power, ISW, via 'The Guardian'.

On April 2, Russia's defense ministry said that 100,000 more recruits have joined its army so far in 2024

BREAKING: Trump’s 10-Day Deadline to Putin |Russia MOCKS U.S Secondary Tariff Threat For Ceasefire

Former President Trump has issued a stark warning to Russia: agree to a Ukraine ceasefire within 10 days or face sweeping new sanctions. He hinted at harsh secondary sanctions and tariffs targeting Russia’s already struggling economy. Despite the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov mocked the move, claiming Moscow isn’t worried. Analysts say sanctions could slash Russia’s GDP by another 3–5% annually and hit energy exports hard. As the U.S. raises pressure, the question remains—will Putin yield, or is Trump making empty threats? #Trump #Russia #Sanctions #UkraineWar #USRussiaTensions #Putin #Ceasefire #Geopolitics #Tariffs #GlobalEconomy #Lavrov #SecondarySanctions #DebtCrisis #RussiaEconomy #BreakingNews #RTNews #EnergyCrisis #ShadowFleet #TradeWar #TrumpThreat #ForeignPolicy #EconomicSanctions #G7Pressure #China #India #ExportCuts #TrumpVsRussia #UkraineConflict #USPolitics #RussiaNews #TrumpSpeech Also Read Trump Imposes 10- To 12-Day Deadline For Russia To Cease Military Actions In Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-sets-new-deadline-for-russia-in-ukraine-conflict-011-7813541.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambition as a Global Peacemaker Faces Challenges Amid Gaza Ceasefire Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-global-peacemaker-gaza-ceasefire-challenges-011-7810943.html?ref=DMDesc India Indicates Conditional Approach to Reviving Russia-India-China RIC Framework :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-non-committal-on-revival-of-ric-framework-011-7804519.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

"Trump Barks But Doesn’t Bite," Says Expert On U.S Secondary Tariffs On Russia | "U.S Won’t Dare…" [Video]

"Trump Barks But Doesn’t Bite," Says Expert On U.S Secondary Tariffs On Russia | "U.S Won’t Dare…"

Despite bold rhetoric, President Trump is unlikely to follow through on secondary tariffs targeting Russian trade partners. Speaking in the UK, Trump extended his tariff deadline again, repeating a familiar pattern of threats with little enforcement. Russian markets rose following his speech, reflecting global skepticism. Experts say enforcing tariffs on nations like China or India could backfire, straining diplomatic ties and fueling inflation at home. As Putin vows to continue the Ukraine war, Trump’s tactics seem more bark than bite—aimed at leverage, not real economic penalties. #Trump #TariffThreats #Russia #Putin #TradeWar #USPolitics #Geopolitics #SecondaryTariffs #TrumpVsPutin #GlobalMarkets #ChinaTrade #India #Brazil #OilTrade #RussiaUkraine #USChina #TrumpPolicy #TariffTalks #StockMarket #Inflation #Moscow #TrumpSpeech #ForeignPolicy #TradeNews #BluffPolitics #UkraineWar #EconomicStrategy #TariffWatch #GlobalTensions #TrumpAbroad #DiplomacyFail ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.194~

The announcement follows successful tests and comes as Russia escalates airstrikes on Ukraine. On July 28, a drone and missile barrage hit Kyiv, injuring eight civilians, including a child. The Darnytskyi district was among the hardest hit.

BREAKING: Trump Starts Another War? Western Fighter Jets Roar Through Thailand To Pound Cambodia [Video]

BREAKING: Trump Starts Another War? Western Fighter Jets Roar Through Thailand To Pound Cambodia

Western Gripen fighter jets — believed to be Swedish-made and NATO-linked — reportedly thundered through Thai airspace to carry out strikes on Cambodian military positions. The alleged aerial bombardment marks a dramatic new phase in the escalating Thailand-Cambodia conflict over the disputed Preah Vihear region. Unconfirmed reports suggest U.S. backing for Thailand’s military posture — raising questions about Donald Trump's growing global military footprint. After igniting an inferno in the Middle East with Israel-Iran tensions, is Trump now fueling a second front in Southeast Asia? Meanwhile, Kremlin sources have gone quiet, and ASEAN is scrambling to contain what could spiral into a full-blown regional war. Macron has demanded de-escalation. Zelensky has called for urgent talks. But Trump? He’s reportedly “watching the situation closely.” Will this be another proxy war with global players lurking in the shadows? #ThailandCambodiaConflict #GripenJets #TrumpWar #AsiaWarZone #PreahVihear #CambodiaUnderAttack #ThailandAirstrikes #USProxyWar #WesternJets #TrumpAsiaPolicy #SoutheastAsiaWar #BreakingNewsAsia #MilitaryEscalation #ThaiCambodianTensions #JetStrikesCambodia #NATOInAsia #SaabGripen #TrumpWarmonger #CambodiaCrisis #WW3Fears

‘Putin-Zelensky Face-Off…’ Trump’s BIG Reveal On Ukraine War SHOCKS Kremlin | Kremlin Rejects… [Video]

‘Putin-Zelensky Face-Off…’ Trump’s BIG Reveal On Ukraine War SHOCKS Kremlin | Kremlin Rejects…

In a bombshell claim, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that a face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky “is going to happen,” despite the Kremlin drawing a red line. Russia insists such a summit should only occur to finalize a peace deal — not as part of ongoing negotiations. Trump, who has taken a hard stance on pushing peace since taking office in January, recently threatened 100% secondary tariffs on Russia’s trading partners if no resolution is reached within 50 days. Meanwhile, Moscow demands Ukraine lift martial law, recognize territorial losses, and hold overdue elections. The Kremlin remains skeptical about Zelensky’s legitimacy post his expired term. While Kyiv has repeatedly pushed for a summit, Moscow says a meeting is only possible once substantial progress has been made. As tensions rise, Trump’s bold assertion adds drama to the already fragile diplomatic theatre unfolding between Russia and Ukraine. #Trump #PutinZelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #ZelenskyPutinMeeting #Kremlin #TrumpPeaceDeal #UkraineCrisis #RussiaDemands #MartialLaw #UkraineElections #TrumpTariffs #PeaceTalks #KremlinRejects #Geopolitics #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraineSummit #TrumpThreat #ZelenskyLegitimacy #UkraineRussiaTensions #WorldNews

US Vs China: ‘Stop Fueling Russia's War…’ US Blasts China | China Fires Back With Explosive Rebuke [Video]

US Vs China: ‘Stop Fueling Russia's War…’ US Blasts China | China Fires Back With Explosive Rebuke

Tensions exploded at the United Nations as the U.S. directly accused China of helping Russia prolong its war in Ukraine. In a fiery address, acting U.S. Ambassador Dorothy Shea demanded Beijing halt all dual-use exports fueling Moscow’s deadly missile and drone strikes. Shea exposed the recurring use of Chinese-made components in Russian weapons despite China’s public denials. Beijing hit back with fury. Chinese deputy U.N. envoy Geng Shuang dismissed the claims, asserting China is not a party to the conflict and has implemented strict export controls. But mounting evidence, including covert Chinese drone engine exports and reports quoting Chinese officials admitting they “cannot afford for Russia to lose,” suggests otherwise. As China and Russia’s wartime partnership deepens, Zelensky has raised the alarm and Putin prepares to visit Beijing in September.
