Prospect of Ukraine ‘Child Soldiers’ Shows US Desperate, Will Set Public Against Zelensky
Washington and Kiev’s move to lower the mobilization age to 18 in Ukraine amidst the conflict with Russia reflects desperation, with analysts warning of increased public resentment towards Volodymyr Zelensky.
Russian President Vladimir Putin predicts that the US will compel Zelensky to implement this change, ultimately aiming to remove him from power within a year.
Weapons Are Complete Waste Without Manpower
US Army Col. Earl Rasmussen highlights the futility of providing weapons without trained soldiers, suggesting the move is a sign of desperation that will further alienate the public from Zelensky.
Analysts and experts, including Jeremy Kuzmarov and James Carden, criticize the US for supporting the use of child soldiers in Ukraine, drawing parallels to past covert operations.
Martial law and extended mobilization in Ukraine underscore the challenging circumstances faced by the country, with Zelensky’s popularity waning due to unfulfilled promises and geopolitical pressure.
