“Due to the decrease in the number of volunteer contract soldiers and the increase in their age category, as well as losses in the Russian Army, conscripts over 18 years of age are now actively encouraged to enter into contracts with subsequent deployment to the combat zone,” he said.
Kovalenko noted that commanders have been given a specific task - to ensure that young conscripts transfer to contract service.
“These people are thrown into battle in the very first weeks after signing a contract, but they are not warned about such imminent participation in battles, promising only money,” he added..
