The 🇺🇦 Ukrainian parliament in the final second reading adopted a bill allowing citizens over the age of 60 to be consprited and serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said Verkhovna Rada deputy Irina Gerashchenko.

On June 4, Ukrainian parliamentarian Alexei Goncharenko announced that the Rada had adopted in the first reading a draft law on military service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine for citizens over 60 years old.

"Three hundred and six MPs supported the right of servicemen who turned 60 years old to continue defending Ukraine, if they wish, by adopting a bill on military service under contract for persons who have reached the age limit for military service.

It allows people who have reached the age limit to be conscripted for military service, but who are ready to continue serving for health reasons," Gerashchenko wrote on her Telegram channel.

At the same time, she noted that the text of the document does not clearly specify who exactly should coordinate candidates for contract service, which may create opportunities "for abuse or selective decisions."

According to her, the law should come into force immediately after Zelensky's signing and publication.

Earlier in April, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine acknowledged the problem of forced mobilization and shortage of military personnel in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, saying that the agency was trying to solve it by recruiting young people and foreign mercenaries.

At the same time, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine allowed recruiting centers to recruit and bring foreigners and stateless persons wishing to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine from abroad.

While Putin is busy wasting the lives of Russian young school leavers



To me it's better to see 60yrs old plus men whose age mates started the war to fight the war their mates started than waste the lives of innocent young school leavers

Ukraine has been waging a parallel war to Russia’s invasion; one vital to the nation’s continued resistance. With Russia enlisting around 30,000 men every month, Ukraine needs to increase its recruitment sixfold simply to keep pace. Attention has thus turned to Europe’s vast Ukrainian diaspora, which includes those who fled as legal refugees, and those

You see there is no winner in war. Both sides are losing

Who is winning the war going on in Ukraine ? Who is profiting from this Russia Ukraine conflicts ?

The Answer is simple. US military industrial Complex and their paid politicians in Congress and Washington.

The more people die Ukraine. The more they smile to the banks.

Please what kind of attention is there for the diasporeans ? To force them to return or get the host nations to deport them for military duties ?

People should be careful about fanning the flames of war in Nigeria . Innocent people will die . Gone are the days where kings go with their soldiers to battle . Nowadays the sit behind desks and send millions to their deaths . Those millions include everyone who is not an elite . I saw Zelensky’s palace the other day and I noticed it was not damaged or an attack point for Russia . Yet this man has stupidly caused the death of so many Ukrainians. You seek peace when you are weak . Only attack when you are strong . Not when strong countries coerce you to act strong.
