The Russian authorities are actively looking for manpower, including recruiting 17-year-olds, to restore unprecedented losses on the frontline in Ukraine.

The Center for National Resistance stated this, Ukrinform reports.

"Currently, Russia is actively recruiting members of patriotic movements, in particular, the network of military education centers "Warrior" and "Yunarmiya" (Young Army). Teenagers aged 17 are being actively recruited to military enlistment offices to sign a contract upon reaching the age of majority," the report says.

It is noted that by playing on youthful maximalism through propaganda, the Russians hope to recruit tens of thousands of teenagers.
