KYIV — Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered another 160,000 Russian citizens be called up to serve in the military, Russian news agency Interfax reported Monday.
Russia drafts men aged 18 to 30 years old. The new order, starting April 1 and to be completed by July 15, comes amid the ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, brokered by the United States.
They prefer to use older people but they ran out of them too I am pretty sure…
What it is worse ukraine will need to go younger and younger too going forward.
That’s just the war of attrition in nuts and bolts
From what I understand Russia went from young to old when finding people, Ukraine has gone from old to young.
Sort of. They wiped out minorities and undesireables first.
