Trump called on Zelensky to mobilize 18-year-olds: expert revealed possible consequences.
Ukraine plans to lower the conscription age to 18 by 2025, said future National Security Advisor Michael Waltz. However, military expert Alexander Kovalenko warns of a possible demographic crisis as a result of this decision. He notes that even if 100,000 young people are successfully mobilized, their technical support will create significant problems.
Alexander Kovalenko points out that 18-year-old fighters do not have adequate physical and psychological readiness compared to experienced military personnel. He suggests focusing on financial incentives for volunteers, proposing payments of $10,000 to increase mobilization. However, the expert emphasizes that Michael Waltz does not offer additional funding or technical assistance to Ukraine.
Earlier, Zelensky responded to this proposal, declining to lower the conscription age.
