Ukraine's military needs younger men not only because they are physically fitter than older men but also because they can master technology used on the battlefield faster, President Volodymyr Zelensky told French YouTuber Hugo Travers in an interview published on April 21.
Zelensky signed several laws on mobilization on April 2, one of which lowered the minimum age of compulsory military service from 27 to 25, making men eligible for the draft from age 25.
25 is the new 27 everyone!

Aren't 25 and 27 both fairly old cutoffs for a draft, though?
What was the cutoff here (the US) during Vietnam? I thought you could be drafted at 18.

Because Ukraine demographics are so fricked die to low birthrate, they prioritize sending men who already had children to the front so that young moids can still make children and avoid a total collapse of the country.

Even before the war started, like before 2014 before the Crimean annexation, their numbers weren't looking good.
If they somehow survive this war with territorial losses, they'll still be finished off demographically by the end of the century.
