Teens Fleeing Ukraine Amid Western Demands to Lower Mobilization Age – The Times
Teenage sources admitted to the British paper that they choose to study abroad, where they will not be taken to the front without their consent.
Ukrainian deputy Oleksandra Ustinova, who deals with US arms supplies, claims many in Washington ask why Kiev doesn’t send younger men to the front, while US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has previously stated that Kiev will have to make difficult but necessary decisions on mobilization.
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhi Tikhy confirmed that the topic of lowering the age of mobilization to 18 years in Ukraine is being discussed in negotiations with the United States.
