Zelensky signed several laws on mobilization on April 2, one of which lowered the minimum age of compulsory military service from 27 to 25, making men eligible for the draft from age 25.
The current draft age in the USA is 18-25.
- Can't wait to hear ill-informed critics explain how evil Zelenskyy is for sending children to war
  
  He's evil for sending people to war who don't want to go.
  
  Meanwhile isn’t the US drafting at 18+ also?
Can we please stop making people fight if they don't want to?
- I recommend we force our leaders to fight to the death since they believe in the war so much and think its so necessary.
  RobotJoxx here we come!
  
  I'm sure Zelensky would agree in a heartbeat to defend Ukraine in a 1v1. But getting the coward Putin to do that? No way in hell that'd happen
- Why stop there. Can we stop letting people fight even if they want to?
props to @EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net
He could scoop random people off the street to die for a doomed war and you mfers would still support him.
- He lowered the minimum age from 27 to 25. What a monster.
  It's not like his country is at war or at risk of being invaded by one of the world's biggest military power or anything, right?
  
  How long will it take before the age ratchets down again? And then further? And then further? I give it another two years-- if those nazis can even last that long-- before Zelensky's pushing teenagers into the meat grinder. And he won't think twice. The people controlling him would do for him the same way if he did.
  
  I wish all draft supporters a very die in a war they don't agree with
- Why doesn't everyone just give up, like you do?
  Are they stupid?!
  
  Why give up when you can send other people to die for you right? Not like your ass is on the line, it's just other people dying while you shitpost here.
As an ill-informed critic, this explains how evil Zelenskyy is for sending children to war
- So many people being "wooshed" by this comment
- As a bot spotter this is a totally legit person
- He's making a joke in referrence to the first response under the top comment. Not everything needs an /s
