officials and other Western allies for Ukraine to lower its draft age from 25 to 18 in order to mobilize more troops. "We must not compensate the lack of equipment and training with the youth of soldiers," Zelensky said on X."The priority should be providing missiles and lowering Russia's military potential, not Ukraine's draft age. The goal should be to preserve as many lives as possible, not to preserve weapons in storage."Zelensky said Ukraine's focus should be equipping and training "existing brigades" and that allies should work together to end Russia's full-scale invasion. He also thanked French President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump for their recent meeting in Paris, calling it a "productive conversation." "I told President Trump that Putin fears only him and, perhaps, China," Zelensky said.
