AI Summary:
Ukraine is in the final stages of drafting recruitment reforms to attract 18- to 25-year-olds. Deputy Head of the Office of the President Colonel Pavlo Palisa said Ukraine is exploring new recruitment options. The current drafting system inherited from Soviet times is hindering progress. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been adamantly opposed to implementing obligatory mobilization starting from 18 years old. “As of now, my view is that we need to start an open dialogue with society,” he said. Russia continues to make incremental advances in the Donetsk region. Analysts point to structural weaknesses in Ukraine’s command system and faltering communication between units on the frontline as key factor in its struggle to hold territory along the 1000 km (620 mile) frontline.
