Ukraine Offers Young Recruits Cash to Join the Fight

Ukraine is facing a tough challenge: they need more soldiers. As the war with Russia continues, the Ukrainian government is trying a new plan. They are offering young people money to join the army.

A Controversial Offer

The government is giving young men aged 18-24 a lot of money if they sign up. They can get $25,000 when they join and another $25,000 after one year of service. This deal has caused some problems because older soldiers did not get this offer.

Why Now?

Ukraine needs more soldiers quickly. Many young men could not join before because they were too young. Now, they have a chance to serve their country and earn money.

• First aid: Learning how to help wounded soldiers.
• Drone defense: Figuring out how to stop enemy drones.
• Live fire drills: Practicing shooting with real guns.

This money can help them and their families.

There is a catch. The young soldiers must serve in the infantry. This means they will be in the most dangerous parts of the war. They will be in trenches and could face Russian soldiers. These young men will have to fight and try to stay alive.

These young soldiers will get more training before going to the front lines. Some people think young soldiers learn faster and have more energy. 

One person said that most of these young men want to protect their country, and the money helps their families. Before joining the army, they worked and helped at home. Now, they will be at war.

These young men are now soldiers. They are getting ready for a war that has taken many lives. They are willing to fight for their country.
