Zelensky Signs Law Allowing Ukrainians Over 60 To Join The Military
Ukrainians aged 60 and older can now serve in non-combat roles thanks to new legislation. The elderly Ukrainians will need special approval and get medical clearance before enlisting.
The law was passed by the Ukrainian legislature earlier this month and signed by President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday, allowing people over the age of 60 to serve in limited roles until martial law in Ukraine is lifted.
While the current martial law authorization is set to lapse next month, Zelensky has requested that lawmakers extend it for an additional 90 days. Zelensky’s presidential term has already expired, and he has used martial law to remain in office.
Zelensky signed the law increasing the age limit as Ukraine continues to struggle with manpower in the war with Russia. Last year, Ukraine lowered its draft age from 27 to 25, but has resisted calls from the US to drop it to 18.
Ukrainian MP Anna Skorokhod explained earlier this month that her country was facing a severe manpower shortage, saying, “Our main problem is people. Nobody is giving us people.”
The MP said that even if President Donald Trump sent more weapons to Ukraine, the “war cannot last forever.”

War Room’s Steve Bannon and Joe Allen on the Dangers of AI Dependence – “We Are Set Up for Basically a Kind of Drone Like Existence”
Bannon had explained to Allen that he had concerns about AI tech guys like Zuckerberg, Altman, and Musk who were promoting the idea of AI companions.
“One of my concerns here is that in the last 24 to 48 hours that we’ve gotten real signals in messaging from Altman and from the Zuck that something is about to pop. Are you hearing that in the community?” Bannon asked.
“I know that people been promoting like Elon Musk with the AGI and it’s a couple years away or six years away, and it could be within a year. But this is the first time we’ve have had these two guys focus on this issue of an AI companion,” Bannon explained.
“Your thoughts sir?” Bannon asked.
“This push for AI companion Steve is basically the first sort of stage to get people completely dependent on these technologies. In some cases, we are talking about children using AI companions as teachers and others we are talking about presumably young adults that are basically relinquishing any chance of a true, deep romantic relationship by falling in love with robots,” Allen warned.
“Alongside that emotional bond, you’ve got that ever present promise that the AI will be the source for information, the highest authority,” Allen continued.
“The idea is once human beings have normalized the idea that these entities, these non-human entities are trustworthy, are reliable for solid information and will solve problems that you are now convinced that you can’t solve yourself. Then we are set up for basically a kind of drone like existence,” Allen warned.
“How do you think they are going to push this out? I mean you already see advertises that you need an AI companion or you need an AI assistant,” Bannon asked.
“When do you think the big push to roll this out comes?” Bannon asked.
Allen explained that the 2020 covid lockdowns made it possible to become so dependent on screens and technology, that the roll out of AI has been made easier to push as a way of life.
“Within the next year. It’s already here in some ways, but it’s more muted I think that it will be after it’s become more and more normalized. I don’t think much of any of this would be able to occur were it not for 2020 and the subsequent isolation, the widespread atomization, people becoming completely screen dependent,” Allen warned.
