It is dangerous to introduce mobilisation from age of 18 today – Ukraine's President Zelenskyy

Answering questions from Ukrainian journalists, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that "today it is dangerous" to introduce mobilisation from the age of 18. Source: Zelenskyy's interview at the national joint 24/7 newscast Quote: "The partners would like to see the (mobilisation) age reduced.

We have mobilisation from the age of 25, and we do not yet see why we need to introduce these changes. I think it is dangerous today. There is a tool for this - the Ministry of Defence has contracts; any person can sign a contract of their own free will even if they're younger than 25."
