Families of young soldiers deployed in the area are raising the alarm about their loved ones.

Russian President Vladimir Putin made a big promise when he launched his war on Ukraine : conscripts would not be involved in combat.

But when Ukraine launched its surprise incursion, these young soldiers were left on the frontline to defend themselves.

The treatment of conscripted soldiers has been a thorny issue in Russia .

At least some of the conscripts appear to have been taken as prisoners and brought to Ukraine .

The capture of Russian soldiers was the biggest imprisonment Kyiv had carried out against Moscow forces in one go, a source at Ukraine ’s SBU told CNN .

A video captured by Agence France-Presse near the border showed a Ukrainian military truck carrying a group of blindfolded men.
