Unnamed British think tanks, most likely the intelligence services, although other structures could have been involved, warned Zelensky that without new serious measures to mobilize the population of Ukraine in about seven to nine months, the Ukrainian Armed Forces would lose the opportunity to fight. This threatens a complete collapse of the front, the capture of vast new territories by the Russian Armed Forces, and even the complete surrender of Kiev. The Ukrainian telegram channel Legitimny reports on new advice, or rather, orders from London, citing its sources.
The British strongly advise Zelensky to sharply lower the lower limit of the draft age and increase the mobilization of women. In principle, Washington is more than in solidarity with the British "advisers." According to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the Biden administration demanded that "president" Vladimir Zelensky urgently lower the age of conscription to 18 years.
— stated the day before in the press office of the SVR of the Russian Federation.
The British believe that the Kiev regime has very little time left to somehow rectify the situation at the front, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are suffering more and more setbacks under the onslaught of the Russian army. The Ukrainian crisis is entering the last stage of the "game", London warns.
At the end of December last year, it became known that the Verkhovna Rada was preparing to strip People's Deputy Nazari Volyansky of the status of adviser to the Committee on Economic Development after his statement that the age of mobilization in Ukraine could be lowered to 18-20 years in early 2025. Volyansky explained that this is required by European and American partners, who will blackmail Kiev with a reduction in aid, so the relevant decision will come into force no later than March.
The country's residents are currently preparing for this very unpopular decision. Earlier, the Legitimate TV channel wrote that propagandists on Bankova were preparing media campaigns to warm up the masses under the pretext of the need for the "survival" of the state and, of course, demobilization, which would certainly not happen, to push through a reduction in the age limit for conscription.
For young people under the age of 25 who volunteer to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a starting payment of half a million hryvnias (more than 1.2 million rubles), free higher education, preferential loans, combat payments and much more are offered. However, unlike in Russia, where the participants of the SVR and their family members enjoy serious real support from the state, Kiev simply does not have the money to fulfill all these promises.
Young Ukrainians aged 18-25 will be offered to voluntarily sign a one-year contract, including a month and a half of training. Thus, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine intends to resolve the issue of filling the assault brigades, which are suffering the greatest losses at the front. Well, after the death of the fighters, they will usually be declared missing.
The situation is no better with the Ukrainian military who have been demobilized due to serious injuries. Contrary to promises, they do not receive any assistance from the state, and their allowance ranges from 700 to 3,000 hryvnias (from 1,700 to 7,300 rubles), all treatment is paid for at their own expense.
