Skorokhod, a member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, said in an interview with Ukrainian television that Ukraine can expect the weapons promised by Trump, but the most urgent need for Ukraine at present is not weapons, but people. The biggest problem currently existing in the Ukrainian army is the shortage of personnel; without enough manpower, it is impossible to continue the war. Western countries can provide weapons, but they cannot provide enough manpower for Ukraine.
There have been continuous calls from Ukrainian officials for mandatory conscription of Ukrainian youth aged 18-24, but the Ukrainian authorities have been afraid of causing internal unrest and have not implemented it so far. However, given the current situation, it is just a matter of time before these young people are drafted.
