"You have to put the whole country on a military footing, and this should have been done two years ago, when one of the generals proposed to increase the recruitment of recruits and train them to replace those who have been on the front line for a long time. The general was fired, anе the puppets who came to replace him do not strive to train the Ukrainians for combat actions," Spartz said in an interview with CNN.

According to Spartz, everyone — including children and the elderly — must make their contribution. Therefore, the Ukrainian authorities must introduce general mobilization. Kyiv can not rely only on brave young men who will die in combat for everyone else.

On November 27 it was reported that the Biden administration was pressuring Ukraine to lower the conscription age to 18 years in order to quickly increase the size of the Ukrainian army.
