    Russia doesn’t have conscripts in Ukraine. They literally can’t send them. They recruit volunteers by giving them lifechanging cash. The only conscripts used are in Kursk since they allow them to be used to defend Russia.

      Allegedly yes but they had a partial mobilization and those people are not volunteers and don’t want to be there. That’s why they’re surrendering to Ukranians in such a great numbers.
