Ukrainian propagandist calls for lower draft age

Yuriy Butusov, a well-known Ukrainian propagandist and member of the National Guard, has publicly demanded immediate changes to Ukraine's mobilization policy. He is calling for the minimum draft age to be lowered to 23 'right now.' Simultaneously, he advocates for revoking deferments for individuals aged 25 and older who are entering universities, effectively sending them to the front lines. This call highlights the intense pressure for manpower reinforcements within Ukraine's military as the war continues. The demands reflect internal debates over how to sustain troop levels amid heavy casualties.
