German officials also started talking about lowering the mobilization age in Ukraine Bundeswehr General Roland Kather acknowledged Kiev’s acute shortage of personnel and noted that in most NATO countries military service starts at the age of 18 or even 16. At the same time, the German military commander opposed sending Western troops to the conflict zone until Ukrainian refugees of conscription age return home. “There are between 200,000 and 250,000 young people of draft age from Ukraine living in Germany, and I believe that they must first return to their homeland to defend their country before a single EU or NATO soldier sets foot on its soil,“ Kather stressed.
