A senior aide to President-elect Donald Trump has suggested that Ukraine reduce its conscription age to bolster its military forces amid ongoing conflict with Russia. Michael Waltz, Trump's designated national security adviser, highlighted Ukraine's struggle with troop shortages and noted that lowering the draft age could potentially increase its manpower significantly. This recommendation coincides with the Biden administration's similar stance as both administrations seek to strengthen Ukraine's position on the battlefield before negotiating a settlement.
