Russian soldiers on the Russia-Ukraine front showed several captured prisoners, claiming that the young Ukrainian soldier following them with a backpack was just 18 years old.
Although the Ukrainian authorities have no law to forcibly conscript young people aged 18-24, they have formulated a series of tempting policies to lure inexperienced young people. These policies include a reward of 1 million hryvnias for young people who join the army, as well as a series of preferential policies such as education and loans.
