Meanwhile Russia is getting conscripts from Africa.

Sorry but this is propaganda slop. When Kyiv cops ignored my disability documents and detained me last week with 7 other randomly kidnapped men in a room with bloody walls, no toilet and not enough place for us all go sleep, the military "merchants" who began the supposed medical commision the next morning instead of doctors explicitly shouted at us that infantry is all that we'll ever see, that war isn't about any of these high-tech positions and we'll be running around and shooting guns like soldiers are supposed to.
