Relevant and significant for the future of Europe as well as the world.
This is a difficult subject for many Germans. The significance will not be lost on anyone who grew up during the cold war.

Ukraine has launched a series of drone strikes against targets in Russia more than 800 miles from the border, in some of its deepest attacks into Russiaâs industrial heartland since the beginning of the war.
The Ukrainian drones targeted one of Russiaâs largest oil refineries and a factory that produces Iranian-designed Shahed drones that have been used on the frontlines of the war.

Upper limit? Lower limit? Wasnât it already 18 to 59? This is all very confusing

As I understand it*, the 18-59 range is the ages where one can join the forces (and the men in that range are unable to leave the country). The mobilisation age is when one can be conscripted.
*I am open to clarification though.

Having just looked it up (though not entirely confident in the accuracy of my Ukrainian with the aid of machine translators), I think it works like this.
In peacetime, every year some number of people from the pool of conscription aged men (18 to 27 years previously, now only up to 25) are conscripted for 12-18 months of compulsory service. Those who have completed this service are then considered part of the reserve until they reach a certain age depending on their rank - up to 60 years for officers.
Under mobilization in wartime, normal conscription does not take place. Reservists may be called up for active service, while other fit military aged men (18-60) may volunteer to join the armed forces and are generally not allowed to leave the country (with some exceptions, e.g. for single fathers). However, only those older than the normal conscription limit (27 previously, 25 now) may be summoned for compulsory service.
So thatâs what this new law accomplishes - it extends the possibility of compulsory mobilization for 25- to 27-year-olds who have not previously served.
