Russia Ukraine war, page-97061

Civilians, women, elderly and youth. Fair enough conscripting to defend their country. Putin is conscripting to replace the 100,000 plus men he has lost in his special military operation to defend Russians in the Donbas and denazify his neighbour. Oh, and to maintain his grip on Crimea. The Donbas is or is being wrecked, largely by the Russians. Putin stirred up sepratists there in the first place, with out Russian involvement the Donbas would have stayed Ukrainian with minimal unrest, and avoided most of the violence since 2014.
