Ukraine should consider lowering the age of military service to 18, a US official has said, as the outgoing White House administration is reported to be preparing a new weapons package to bolster Kyiv before President Joe Biden leaves office in January.
Speaking to reporters, an unnamed senior US official said on Wednesday that Ukraine should consider lowering the age of military service from 25 to 18 years, as the country was not mobilising or training enough new soldiers to replace those killed in action.
