Jesus fuck, they look like teenagers. Second from the camera looks like a dude I played smash bros with.
Glad they made the brave choice to surrender. Makes me feel grateful I had a peaceful childhood.

That’s not unusual for lots of armies, tbh. That’s what war is without fail: young people dying for the ambitions of old people.

We let kids join the army at 18. We don’t let adults rent cars until they’re 26

Most of the “defensive” forces that Ukrainian soldiers are capturing are likely conscripts.
So yes, very likely these forces almost solely consist of teenagers that are highly under-geared, severely under-trained, and likely have been routinely mentally, physically and sexually assaulted.
