Wanted: Foolish Older Ruscists

Russia scraps age limit for new troops in Ukraine push

Russia is presenting it as a move to recruit more technical specialists. The new law says specialists are required to operate high-precision weapons and "experience shows that they become such by the age of 40-45". More medics, engineers and communications experts may also be recruited.

Ukrainian and Western military experts say Russia has suffered heavy losses in the war: about 30,000 killed, according to Ukraine, while the UK government estimates the toll at about 15,000. In comparison, Soviet losses in nine years of war in Afghanistan were about 15,000.

Russia gave a total of 1,351 dead on 25 March, which it has not updated.

Poor Pooooooooooooooooootin is growing desperate.

Слава Україні! Slava Ukrayini! Слава героям Slava heroyam!
