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

Big Breaking: Zelensky Used Deadly Chloropicrin Bombs On Russians? Putin To Take Revenge?

Russia accuses Ukraine of chemical warfare after claiming to uncover drone bombs containing chloropicrin, a banned toxic agent, in Donetsk. Russian authorities say the devices, intended for UAV deployment, were found in a Ukrainian weapons cache and filed WMD-related charges. If verified, this would mark a dangerous escalation in the war. Ukraine has not responded to the allegation. Global watchdogs may now face pressure to investigate the use of banned chemical agents in the conflict. #RussiaUkraineWar #ChemicalWeapons #Donetsk #WMDCharges #BreakingNews #Chloropicrin #UkraineConflict #DroneWarfare #FSB #RussiaAccusesUkraine #ChemicalWarfare #UkraineDrones #WarEscalation #EasternUkraine #GlobalSecurity #WarCrimes #BannedAgents #MilitaryConflict #MoDRussia #DroneBombs #ToxicWeapons #ConventionalToChemical #RussiaUkraineTensions ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.420~

BIGGEST VICTORY For Putin | Russia takes FULL CONTROL of the Luhansk Region | Ukraine-Russia War

Russia now claims full control of Ukraine’s Luhansk region—its first completely occupied territory since the 2022 invasion. Leonid Pasechnik, Moscow’s installed leader in Luhansk, declared the region “100% liberated” on Russian state TV. If confirmed, this marks a major shift in battlefield control. President Putin has rejected ceasefire calls and insists all four annexed regions—including Luhansk—will remain Russian forever. Ukraine, yet to respond, continues to reject all claims of Russian sovereignty over occupied territory. #RussiaUkraineWar #Luhansk #BreakingNews #Putin #Ukraine #OccupiedTerritory #RussiaClaims #AnnexedRegions #Kyiv #UkraineConflict #RussiaNews #WarUpdate #UkraineSovereignty #EasternUkraine #LuhanskLiberated #Donetsk #Zaporizhzhia #Kherson #PutinSpeech #CeasefireRejection #RussianMilitary #Geopolitics #NuclearUmbrella #Invasion2022 #UkraineResistance #TerritorialControl ~HT.96~GR.125~ED.194~
