While mandatory conscription applies to men over 24, the government is trying to encourage younger individuals to volunteer by offering an array of incentives.“I visited the front on Saturday. There is a demand from specific brigades, and we will be responding positively to it. There will be more brigades employing young specialists,” Zelensky stated. “This initiative will extend to the National Guard and border guard units, as all effective defense forces should be given every opportunity to enhance their capabilities.”Under a recruitment campaign launched in February, young adults are promised 1 million hryvnia ($24,000) for a year of military service, as well as free dental care and the option to leave Ukraine after fulfilling their contract – an option not available to regular fighting-age men.<a href="https://www.rt.com/news/614568-ukraine-cheeseburgers-military-draft/" target="_blank"><img src="https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2025.03/xxs/67dd2f862030276b024bf148.jpg" alt="Kiev ‘disrespecting citizens’ by using cheeseburgers in military draft – ex-Ukrainian diplomat" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://www.rt.com/news/614568-ukraine-cheeseburgers-military-draft/" target="_blank">Read more</a> <a href="https://www.rt.com/news/614568-ukraine-cheeseburgers-military-draft/" target="_blank">Kiev ‘disrespecting citizens’ by using cheeseburgers in military draft – ex-Ukrainian diplomat</a>The Defense Ministry is promoting the offer by showing how much recruits can buy with the money – equating it to 15,625 cheeseburgers or 185 years of Netflix subscriptions. Critics have condemned the ad campaign as demeaning to potential recruits.Last year, Zelensky reduced the minimum conscription age from 27 to 25, but refrained from further adjustments, citing concerns over the economic and demographic impact. Western supporters have urged Kiev to enlist younger men, saying the aging Ukrainian army is struggling to fight effectively.Ukraine is intensifying its mobilization efforts as the US attempts to mediate a resolution to the conflict with Russia, leveraging Kiev’s reliance on foreign aid. Washington has convinced both sides to agree to a moratorium on strikes against energy infrastructure. After several attacks, however, Moscow has accused Kiev of not honoring its obligation and has threatened to pull out of the 30-day partial ceasefire.Over the past few days, US officials met separately with Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Saudi Arabia to explore the potential resumption of the Black Sea Initiative, aimed at facilitating maritime exports.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.rt.com/russia/614730-zelensky-recruitment-younger-men/[/URL]</blockquote>
