I thought they ran out of that age group awhile ago. Didn't they have to go to the 50+ years ago?
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.
Russians aren't often conscripted when they have "important" jobs.
Maybe this just means that more working Russians will get conscripted.
Nobody have cancelled the process of aging yet. As long as people keep making babies, the supply of fresh 18-year-olds won't dwindle.
Anyway, this is a regular conscription for mandatory military service that's performed twice a year in Russia for all young men.
But who is working in their factories then? Are you Russian?
Well factory workers have a slightly lower chance of dying, even account for strikes against military factories. So don't need to be replaced as much as soldiers.
Lol, Russian it is.
