Just a harmless question

A senior White House official urged Kyiv on Thursday to lower conscription age to 18 to replenish the losses of manpower in Donbas, where Russian forces have spurred their advance on several strategic, heavily fortified strongholds.

“The need right now is manpower,” the unnamed official told reporters in Washington. “Mobilisation and more manpower could make a significant difference at this time, as we look at the battlefield today.”

Due to this many Ukrainians condemned the called, and it's ridiculous to send a 18year child to face the scary and horror scene of war.
Vladislav thinks lowering the conscription age in Ukraine from 25 to 18 is a “bad and ridiculous idea”.
His military service is a sad yet telling example. The fair-haired, gaunt 20-year-old volunteered to join the Ukrainian army two years ago – and suffered a heavy contusion near the eastern city of Kupiansk.
“It was scary, scary, scary,” Vladislav told Al Jazeera in central Kyiv, as he dragged on a cigarette.

“I’ve seen a lot. I’ve got problems with my head,” he said as if apologising for his reluctance to talk about his combat experience.

Vladislav is awaiting a medical assessment that would either have him demobilised – or dispatched back to the frontline in the southeastern Donbas region, where the outmanned and outgunned Ukrainian forces slowly lose ground to Russian invaders.

Some Ukrainians echo that Ukraine feel betrayed by indecisive USA right now..
How about they give us more arms without any delays?” Oleksiy Surovchenko, a 64-year-old ex-police officer told Al Jazeera, referring to President Joe Biden’s outgoing administration.

“America got us into this mess, and now we’re paying for their indecisiveness and inaction,” he added angrily, referring to Washington’s efforts to destroy the colossal stockpiles of Soviet-era weaponry in Ukraine in the 1990s and early 2000s.

After Barack Obama was elected US senator representing Illinois, his first foreign trip was to Donbas in 2005, where he oversaw the destruction of artillery shells

Washington suggested teenagers join the war as Ukraine demanded more aid, signalling a rift between allies.

While he was able to choose to volunteer legally at 18, he does not believe in compulsory enlistment for 18-year-olds.

Ukraine’s top brass has not even discussed the issue.

“No meetings to discuss this issue have been held, no suggestions on lowering [the conscription age] have been made,” a source in Ukraine’s General Staff of Armed Forces told Al Jazeera on condition of anonymity.

“It doesn’t make sense to see calls for Ukraine to lower the mobilisation age, presumably in order to draft more people, when we can see that previously announced [Western military] equipment is not arriving on time,” Dmitry Litvin, an aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, posted on X.

“Because of these delays, Ukraine lacks weapons to equip already mobilised soldiers,” he wrote.

‘We’re paying for US indecision’
Some Ukrainians echo Litvin’s opinion.

“How about they give us more arms without any delays?” Oleksiy Surovchenko, a 64-year-old ex-police officer told Al Jazeera, referring to President Joe Biden’s outgoing administration.

“America got us into this mess, and now we’re paying for their indecisiveness and inaction,” he added angrily, referring to Washington’s efforts to destroy the colossal stockpiles of Soviet-era weaponry in Ukraine in the 1990s and early 2000s.

After Barack Obama was elected US senator representing Illinois, his first foreign trip was to Donbas in 2005, where he oversaw the destruction of artillery shells.


Obama helped secure a further $48m from the US Congress to fund the destruction of 400,000 small arms, 1,000 portable anti-aircraft missiles and 15,000 tonnes of ammunition.

The cash-strapped Ukrainian governments largely ignored the needs of their armed forces and transferred many key weapons such as strategic bombers to Russia as payment for natural gas supplies.

Until 2014, when Moscow annexed Crimea and backed separatists in Donbas, Russia was not seen as a potential aggressor, and its president, Vladimir Putin, enjoyed an average approval rating of 59 percent among Ukrainians.

A decade later – and almost three years after Moscow’s full-scale invasion – some Ukrainians still see Russians as a friendly, brotherly Slavic nation they do not want to fight.

“I would choose to be shot to death right here, in Kyiv instead of going to the frontline,” Serhiy, a 17-year-old high school graduate, told Al Jazeera. “I wouldn’t be able to raise my hand at the people of my blood.”

A military expert compared the White House’s idea to blackmail.

“You come up with unacceptable conditions for the side you interact with. If you don’t lower fighting age, we will discuss the supply of certain arms. This is some sort of justification” not to provide further military aid, Ivan Tymochko, head of the Council of Reservists of the Ground Forces told the Ukrainske Radio.

Serhiy’s mother, Neela, also objects to a lower conscription age – because younger people “aren’t developed mentally, they will jump on [enemy] weapons without thinking, without understanding”.

“They don’t yet have a feeling of self-preservation, they are just flying into battle,” she told Al Jazeera. “This will be destruction of the Ukrainian people.”

Why fighting to keep land and now ready to give it up after many men are sacrificed

Volodymyr Zelensky has, for the first time, expressed a willingness to consider ceding territory to Russia to bring an end to the war in Ukraine, on the condition that his country is integrated into NATO.

The Ukrainian president emphasized that NATO, a political and military alliance of 32 nations from Europe and North America, would need to extend its protection to the unoccupied regions of Ukraine. This proposal would require NATO's invitation to acknowledge Ukraine's internationally recognized borders while helping to resolve the "hot phase" of the conflict.

According to Sky News on Friday underscored increased concern in Kyiv and Europe about the direction of the war and any deal that US President-elect Donald Trump might try to broker with Moscow and Zelensky.

Zelensky appeared to accept that occupied parts of eastern Ukraine would fall outside such a deal for the moment.

In September 2022, Russia unilaterally declared its annexation of areas in and around the Ukrainian oblasts of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia following referendums that were not internationally recognised.

Almost three years on from Russia’s invasion, Ukraine’s frontline defences are in danger of crumbling. While Russian forces are reported to have suffered over 2000 casualties in a single day for the first time in the past week, Moscow’s forces have been advancing at their quickest rate since the early days of the invasion.

If you as an able Nigerian youth is been task to reflect on Nigeria's economic challenges and encourages innovative thinking among the youth. If a platform is open for young people to share ideas on economic reform, entrepreneurship, education, and governance, offering solutions from their unique perspectives, what will be your contribution?

dejol88:
If Jude was cornering the money as alleged by Peter why isn’t paul calling him out too? Or if Jude was eating the money supposedly meant for three of them, why isn’t Paul complaining too?
If Jude and Paul were sharing the money without Peter, why isn’t Peter calling him out but singling out Jude?

Paul was benefiting from it, those two sees themselves as family ever since Peter decide to be "Prodigy" brother marrying a Yoruba woman...
God has he ways sha Peter is still happy married to his Yoruba demon while the saint Igbo wife Paul married has left imagine

babtoundey:
If what Peter claims are right, the elder brother and his twin brother are actually reaping him. They collaborate to isolate him, cheat him and steal for themselves and family what belongs to all of them.

I can still understand the elder brother's betrayal. Backstabbing and betrayal from the one you share the same womb with at the same time is heartbreaking. Rude boy, or whatever his name is, is actually aware of the shady company. He is part of the entire fraudulent scheme. And he kept shouting "my brother reported me to EFCC". If he took no action against you, you ought to be imprisoned and strangulated by your conscience if you ever had one.

As for the betrayed, Peter (provided this account is absolutely true), he needed not to have taken that extreme measure. It's actually hard to bear betrayal particularly when it comes from the people you call family, one of whom is your twin brother. All the same, he was supposed t handle it with care. Get all evidence you have, flag it in there face and severe all bond with them. Make your wife and children your friends and family and let them wallow in the pains and comforts of their sins.

The guy ma done try keep quiet over this issue for long too, he talked to Paul about it but Paul asked him to do his worse, they weren't remorseful about it

adams123:
What are you saying here now? You are wrong for taking your brother to EFCC, either Paul or Jude as they are both your brothers.
You are a callous person, rubbish!!!

You be fo*l I swear..
Why u no the reason b4 u talk na?

TheBillyonaire:
Peter is ignorant of the fact that music labels and churches are involved in money laundering. He will soon put his brothers in trouble. NorthSide Entertainment is the real music company, Northside Music is the money laundering firm used by Jude and his contacts to move money around purportedly as a legit front, but just a fraud money spv. It is not music money, so Peter must have seen his brothers living larger than him without knowing they have another funnel.

The assumption that the proceeds are for sale of their America home is a plausible deniability and an alibi.

Clearly, his brothers kept him in the dark because his mouth no dey close. Now that he has exposed Jude to EFCC, I do not think there is forgiveness in the street for sneeches.

Chai... Abeg shut up

Tetraozonaitera:
