          Not that I've heard of, and I'm pretty sure we would have seen videos of it by now if it was a thing, like with the kidnapping of conscripts and stuff. I don't think Ukraine has demonstrated the ability to keep secrets that well.

          Not yet. Ukraine's approach was to go older first and protect 15-27 year olds as a "next generation" for the country after the war. They reduced conscription age to 25 this year, if the war continues they will reduce it again and again.

      This is from 2016 so some of these kids probably did grow up to become casualties.

        Most people have more physical courage at 15 than 30, that's just what being green and stupid is
