U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Dec. 4 called on Ukraine to send more young people into the fight against Russia, stressing that younger recruits are crucial to filling out the ranks of Kyiv’s depleted troops if the country hopes to withstand Moscow’s assault.
Blinken made the remarks in a press conference and interview with Reuters at the NATO headquarters in Brussels on Dec. 4, after attending a two-day meeting of the military alliance’s foreign ministers. He told reporters that NATO allies are working in a “very determined way” to provide Ukraine with what it needs to continue opposing Russia’s invasion.
