The English publication reported the unprecedented darkness of the relationship between Zelensky and Biden
The British media revealed that the relations between the President of Ukraine and Joe Biden’s government have become unprecedentedly strained due to his defiance of Washington’s demands.
According to Isna, the British “Telegraph” newspaper pointed out that “Volodymyr Zelensky”, the president of Ukraine, has disagreed with “Joe Biden”, the outgoing president of the United States, in many cases since the war in Ukraine, and revealed that Last week, considering the continuation of the defeats of the Ukrainian military from Russia and the worsening of the problem of lack of troops and weapons in the Ukrainian army, one of the most severe differences between the two sides has risen, which has the potential to put an end to their relations.
According to this English newspaper, in recent weeks, American officials have quietly asked their Ukrainian counterparts to lower the mandatory age for sending Ukrainian men to serve in the army and send them to the front lines of the war with Russia to 18 years.
According to this report, Washington has warned Ukraine that the lack of soldiers in the Ukrainian army is reaching an emergency level, and in the meantime, the continuous conquests of the Russian army in eastern Ukraine have continued, while “Donald Trump”, the president-elect of the United States, may when he is in To begin his second term in January, cut Washington’s military support to Kiev.
The warnings of the Biden administration to Zelensky were revealed when US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken went to Brussels to participate in the NATO foreign ministers’ meeting.
“Even with money and ammunition, there must be people on the front lines to counter Russian aggression,” he told reporters. For example, many of us think it is necessary to send younger people to war. Currently, the age group of 18 to 25 years old is not sent to war.
According to the current laws in Ukraine, the mandatory age for military mobilization of men for the army starts from 25 years.
“Mark Rutte”, the former Secretary General of NATO, who left his position not long ago, accompanied this position of the Biden administration and said: “We must clearly ensure that there are enough people available in Ukraine. “We probably need more people to be sent to the front line.”

Zelensky wrote in a social media post about his recent meeting with Donald Trump: “I told Trump that Putin is only afraid of him and maybe of China.”

Zelensky expressed this position while shortly before that, Biden had approved the granting of a 20 billion dollar loan to his country.
The US government stated in a press release: “This loan is intended to provide immediate support to Ukraine and will be repaid and liquidated through future revenues from frozen Russian sovereign assets in the European Union.”
The Telegraph newspaper wrote: “Since he once lost his temper with Hungarian President Viktor Orban during a virtual speech to the European Council meeting at the beginning of the Ukrainian war, this war-time president of Ukraine has publicly “The furnace was not turned off.”
During that speech, the Ukrainian president apparently emphasized the importance of unity within Europe by referring to a meeting between Orban and Putin, while according to the Telegraph, some Western allies sitting around the summit table quietly asked Zelensky to Show more restraint so as not to upset potential allies.
According to the English newspaper, “the supposed threat against the existence of the Ukrainian state again provoked Zelensky’s anger. For Kyiv, the military mobilization of men aged 18 to 24 is completely rejected.
This age group makes up less than 10% of the population of Ukraine, while 2 million men are included in this group.
