Ukraine lowered the mobilization age from 27 to 25 in April 2024 but resisted the international partners' calls to further lower it to 18.

I always thought 18 seemed low, seems to me like an attempt to get them young and naive, and easier to mold.
21 should be the earliest IMO.

@Buffalox Here in Europe, 18 is generally considered the adulthood age, beyond which you can get a license, you can vote, you can buy property, you have full responsibility of yourself in front of the law etc. - so it would be something along those lines.

I personally didn't feel that adult at that age either, though...
