{Blah, blah, blah, and other blah..}

Since the start of the invasion, Ukraine has refused to release official counts of dead and wounded. But according to U.S. and European estimates, the toll has long surpassed 100,000 on each side of the war. [b]It has eroded the ranks of Ukraine’s armed forces so badly that draft offices have been forced to call up ever older personnel, raising the average age of a soldier in Ukraine to around 43 years.[/b] “They’re grown men now, and they aren’t that healthy to begin with,” says the close aide to Zelensky. “This is Ukraine. Not Scandinavia.”"

[b]Does that sound like a nation inflicting 4X casaulties on Russia?[/b] [/quote]

Hey, I don't mean to burst your bubble or anything, but..  yeah, it does.

"[b]It is already raising the upper age limit for men to be called up for compulsory military service to 30 from 27[/b], and has made it much harder for young men to avoid the draft by dodging recruiters handing out call-up papers.  [b]The law passed on Tuesday allows men who have completed their compulsory service without any further commitment to be mobilized up to the age of 40, 50 or 55[/b], depending on their category, the State Duma or lower house of parliament said on its website. In all cases the age limit was raised by five years.  Russia also maintains a "mobilised reserve" of men who have signed up to receive periodic military training and a stipend after their compulsory or professional service ends.  [b]The new law means that those from this reserve with the highest ranks can now be called back into service up to the age of 70 rather than 65, other senior ranks up to 65, junior officers up to 60 - and all others up to the age of 55 rather than 45[/b]."
