Due to delays in military aid deliveries from Western partners, Ukraine is facing a shortage of weapons to support the already mobilized soldiers. This was commented on by Ukrainian presidential advisor Dmytro Litvyn regarding calls to lower the mobilization age. He shared this information on social media platform X, as reported by UNN.
According to Litvyn, Ukraine's partners have complete access to the data and can compare promises with actual deliveries.
Reminder
The Biden administration urges Ukraine to amend its mobilization laws to allow conscription starting at age 18. According to AP, this is necessary for a rapid increase in the numbers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
