 @cooljosh2307 I can see them training young people yes, though I never alluded to my thoughts on their age, only was pointing out that the footage used wasn't trying to be passed off as evidence of Russian youth!
But you, also, have no evidence that these Ukrainians are truly "children" age, yet you call them such.
I only came to point out the footage to sort out an apparent misconception you had, and also to answer your question to the flag on their uniform. I wasn't trying to dispute the claim being reported on... 😉
For the record, I am pro-Ukraine on this whole conflict, but I won't blindly accept any and every claim Ukraine makes against Russia, particularly on one like this which is quite hard to confirm even if there were multiple bodies to examine. That said, I'm sure Ukraine has sources inside Russia (maybe even the Kremlin) and doesn't make these claims just on a whim. After all, their reputation is on the line and making bold, baseless claims (aka lying) is only going to hurt their effort! Namely that of joining NATO, but also in maintaining military aid/support from everyone.
MY ULTIMATE POINT BEING... You wouldn't have made your initial comment if this video hadn't used footage of soldiers (period), as insignia wouldn't have been brought into question.
