Advisor of the Presidential Office confirmed that the US is pressuring Zelenskyy to lower the mobilization age

The Presidential Office confirmed that the United States is exerting pressure on Zelenskyy to lower the mobilization age in Ukraine to 18 years.

According to OP advisor Leshchenko, American politicians from both parties are urging for this to happen.

"The partners’ argument is as follows: during the Vietnam War, the U.S. draft started at 19 years. Therefore, the Americans hint that Western weaponry alone is not enough, and mobilization from 18 years is necessary. President Zelenskyy is not succumbing to pressure and continues to persuade politicians from both parties to provide weapons without changing the draft age," writes Leshchenko.
