Quoted in "The Russian guide to Trump’s Cabinet picks/Who’s good for Russia and who’s going to be a problem among Trump’s choices according to Russian commentators" (WaPo)(free-access link).
In other Ukraine news: "Biden admin urges Ukraine to lower draft age to conscript 18-year-olds/Ukraine already lowered draft age to 25 in April" (Fox News)(it "already" went all the way down... to 25).

"Ukrainian authorities report ..." Are these the same as "Gaza health officials report ..."
Our draft age during the Vietnam War was 18 and the US hadn’t been invaded.
As long as we're on the subject it should be said that the people who dodged that draft are now running our country.
How'd that work out for us?
I'm kinda shocked reading here (and in other places) that Ukraine hasn't yet been drafting the young men. For a year I've seen images and videos of them taking older and middle aged guys off the streets of cities because they had ground through so much of their male population already. I had assumed they had started with their young men.
Interesting, but not surprising, that WaPo is viewing Trump's cabinet selections through the eyes of who's on Russia's side and who is not. Many on the left still thinks Trump works for Russia/Putin.
Whereas, for the last 4 years so many Americans have been asking who in the Biden administration, including Joe and Kamala, are actually good for America? And the answer came on Nov. 5.
When you look at the population pyramid for Ukraine 2023, it's pretty easy to understand why they don't want decrease the 18-24 yo group size. It's already tiny. If they could they would draft the young ones. But there's not very many of them.
It was under Obama (D) that the then president of Ukraine was toppled, Russia invaded (and still occupies) parts of Luhansk and Donetz provinces) and annexed Crimea. Action from Obama - crickets. It was under Biden (D) that Russia invaded Ukraine and occupies still more land. Military-industrial complex (aka deepstate) makes lots of money. Opportunity for graft, Ukraine continues to bleed. Under Trump (R) 1, peace. Who are Putin's tools and enablers, enriching themselves while Ukraine bleeds?
So wtf did cabbage head expect after helping Ukraine target Russia with our advanced longer range missiles? The most reckless, corrupt administration in my lifetime literally attempting to SABOTAGE the incoming US government. From escalating the Russia/ukraine conflict ( then running ), to literally planning to handicap the incoming administration militarily, legislatively and budgeting. And being open about it. Literally seditious, I hope Trump prosecutes them and fires all of the heads of the military. Then uses Viveks odd birthday as the people to fire on day one, then repeat. They no longer serve this country.
That's nice to see you people so happy that Putin is bombing civilian targets in Ukraine with impunity now that Trump is on his way in
Regardless of who did what to whom first and who is on the right side of this war, the continued targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure by Russia is literally barbaric and the plain definition of "war crimes" no less punishable than the perpetrators of the Holocaust.
Thousands of lives, massive property damage, and billions of money - just to hide Joe Biden's grift.
