New recruits train to join Ukraine’s army to fight in war

As the two-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine nears, new recruits have been training in the country's east in preparation to join the Ukrainian People's Army. The majority of the new recruits are middle-aged soldiers. Of the many Ukrainian men who have joined the army, it is unknown how many voluntarily joined and which ones were caught in a growing conscription. Despite the new recruits joining the nation’s army, there are still calls for more military aid to be sent to them. Ukrainian soldiers have been forced to innovate their weaponry, strapping bombs to drones to fly towards the Russians.
