Young Russian Soldiers Unexpectedly Face War

For years, young Russian conscripts were not sent to battlefields, but the recent incursion by Ukraine into Russia has changed that.

This change has broken a long-standing agreement between the Russian government and families who want to keep their sons safe from war.

When Ukrainian forces crossed the border in August, many conscripts, who were guarding the border, were captured or are missing.

This situation highlights the growing pressure on Russia's military resources as the war with Ukraine continues.
