Biden Administration Urges Ukraine to Boost Troops Amid Manpower Concerns

The Biden administration is pushing Ukraine to lower its conscription age to increase its military manpower amid its ongoing war with Russia. This call comes as Ukraine faces challenges in maintaining sufficient troop numbers, with concerns about President-elect Trump's future support complicating the situation.

The Biden administration is advocating for Ukraine to lower its conscription age to 18, aiming to rapidly bolster its military ranks.

Biden officials, citing the need to address Ukraine's manpower deficit against Russia, have supplied significant military aid to Kyiv.

With the impending presidency of Donald Trump, Ukraine's allies express concerns about future US military support continuity.
