Ukraine should not compensate for the lack of equipment and training with young soldiers. We need to focus on providing the existing teams.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi wrote about this on the social network Kh.
"There is a lot of talk in the media about lowering the draft age of Ukrainians to be sent to the front. We must focus on equipping existing crews with equipment and training personnel to use this equipment. We must not compensate for the lack of equipment and training with the youth of soldiers.", - he noted.
The head of state also added that the priority should be the supply of missiles and the reduction of Russia's military potential, and not the reduction of the conscription age in Ukraine. He emphasized that the goal should be to save as many lives as possible, not to keep weapons in warehouses.
"The most important thing is to work together on how to end this war. This is our top priority. This is what we focused on when we met in Paris, and it was a very productive conversation. I once again express my gratitude to President Macron for organizing it, as well as my deep gratitude to President Trump for his firm determination to end this war justly.”, - emphasized Zelensky.
He added that this is the right approach and it is important that all the details are carefully worked out to ensure a truly lasting peace.
Zelensky also wrote that America is capable of achieving extraordinary results. And to succeed in ending the Russian-Ukrainian war, we need the unity of America, Europe and everyone in the world who values security, as well as strong positions and guarantees of peace.
"I told President Trump that Putin is only afraid of him and maybe China. And it's true. Only determination can bring this war to a just conclusion and ensure lasting peace. We must act now to restore proper international order", he concluded.
