    For soldiers yes. And this is average age. Means there are many even older.

      It’s okay, the conscripted children will help lower that average.
      Which is probably not far off at this point.

      • Biden is demanding results before election time, wouldn’t be surprised if they brought the conscription age down to 18. I imagine by the time the US allows them to surrender, Ukraine is going to look more devastated than Paraguay after the War of the Triple Alliance.

        It’s only a matter of time. The West has been putting more and more pressure on Kiev to drastically lower the conscription age.
