American Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said that Ukraine should draft people under the age of 25 and adopt a new law on mobilization as soon as possible. This is reported by The Washington Post.
Graham said that since Ukraine is fighting for survival, all Ukrainians should fight.
"I hope that those who are eligible to serve in the Ukrainian army will join. I can't believe that this is at the age of 27... You're fighting for your life, so you should serve everyone, not when you're 25 or 27. We need more people," he said.
He also called on Ukraine not to take into account the assistance from the United States when making decisions on mobilization.
"Whatever we do, you have to fight. Whatever we do, you fight for yourselves," the politician said.
In addition, Lindsey Graham once again supported the provision of assistance to Ukraine in the form of an interest-free loan. He hopes that the relevant document will be adopted by the House of Representatives "in the coming days, not weeks".
