Earlier, Ukraine’s “I Want to Live” project published a list of 1,059 Russian students allegedly recruited by the Russian Defense Ministry directly from universities, as Moscow looks for new manpower to replace battlefield losses.
The project, run by Ukraine’s Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, said that Russian military recruiters and enlistment officers are now visiting universities to recruit young men who were in high school only recently.
This is day seven of the enemy losing over a thousand pieces of meat.
