The United States of America continues to declare Ukraine support in the war against Russian aggression, but at the same time in the White House they are disappointed by some decisions of the Ukrainian authorities. Washington emphasizes that in order to preserve military potential, Ukraine needs to mobilize more than 160,000 new soldiers.
According to Washington Post, US officials emphasize that, despite providing Ukraine with billions of dollars in Ukraine, further increasing the Armed Forces personnel is critical to avoid defeat. In particular, Baiden administration is concerned that mobilization delay can affect the efficiency of hostilities.
"We are definitely going to continue to send weapons and equipment to Ukraine. But nowadays, we are also important. Together with the call to mobilize recruits, Washington discusses the risks associated with prolonged military assistance. US officials are afraid that this can lead to depletion of their own stocks and jeopardize the needs of the US Armed Forces in other regions.
The situation is also complicated by the recent successes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which, according to Washington Post , has captured Ukrainian territories at the fastest rate since 2022. Against the backdrop of these events, the United States is taking measures to accelerate the supply of weapons and even allowed Kiev to strike deep into the territory of Russia. However, the white house increases the pressure on Kyiv. One of the requirements is to reduce the age of conscription in Ukraine from 25 to 18 years, which, according to US experts, will help to replenish the Armed Forces. However, this idea causes controversy among Ukrainian leaders who are afraid of public dissatisfaction.
Washington urges Ukraine to use the time and resources provided to resolve a critical issue - to ensure a sufficient number of personnel, which together with Western weapons can be a decisive factor in the fight for the country's independence.
