WAPO: Lindsey Graham, visiting Kyiv, Urges Ukraine to Pass Mobilization Law

US senator Lindsey Graham urged young Ukrainians to continue to risk their lives for the Kiev regime, encouraging legislators there to pass a new mobilization law which would lower the country’s draft age to 25.

“I would hope that those eligible to serve in the Ukrainian military would join. I can’t believe it’s at 27.

You’re in a fight for your life, so you should be serving — not at 25 or 27.

We need more people in the line,” he said.

He also urged Ukrainians not to base their decisions to join the military on whether the United States continues to support them. “No matter what we do, you should be fighting,” he said. “No matter what we do, you’re fighting for you.”
