Earlier it was reported that the administration of current US President Joe Biden is calling on Ukraine to immediately increase the size of its armed forces by recruiting more fighters and revising mobilization legislation to allow conscription into the army at the age of 18.

Ukraine will have to make difficult but important decisions on further mobilization into the army, said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
