I agree with this. Never understood why the 18-26 age group weren't the first drafted.

Demographic collapse. Ukrainian males aged 18-26 mostly have not married and fathered children, yet.
Without children, there is no Ukraine in the future.

Prime breeding age to keep population up for the future. Meanwhile Russia's is collapsing.

I get that but, with a manpower shortage I don't see how they have a choice.

Russia has sent its "undesirables" from the East to do the dying, as far as younger males (and this gets rid of potential future insurgents, also)... then it concentrated on the older poor males... it's trying to avoid the remaining young men of Moscow and St. Petersberg if it can help it.
So, if Ukraine sacrifices its young males while Russia manages to preserve some... Russia wins, in a sense.

Hmmmm
As soon as there's a Ukrainian offensive, like clockwork the Russian trolls go into overdrive. From the recent Barron/Bunk/Lima post count, the Ukrainians must be kicking serious arse... Yet again.

GeoConfirmed UKR - Investigation
When Ukraine undertakes offensive operations, Russia attempts to manipulate/influence the information environment. For nearly three years, we have been monitoring the war in Ukraine, and another notable trend has emerged: whenever Ukraine initiates an offensive operation, social media becomes inundated with claims of significant Ukrainian losses.
However, we have observed that these claims often consist of disinformation: they may reference outdated losses, incidents from different regions, or even Russian losses reported as Ukrainian losses... (I kid you not). This misinformation is often compiled in a way that suggests Ukraine's offensive efforts are failing, thereby attempting to sway public perception.

UPDATE ON UKRAINE
13 January 2025
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
Russia launched approximately 1,700 One Way Attack Uncrewed Aerial Systems (OWA UAS) of varying types into Ukraine in the month of December 2024, a decrease from November's total of 2,300. This was the first time that a decline in numbers has been seen since March to April 2024. It is likely that weather factors impacted operations early in the month, possibly evidenced through several nights of waves greater than 100 OWA UAS that followed periods of particularly low or no activity.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported that 53% of Russian OWA UAS were shot down, while the remainder were disrupted using electronic warfare or had already flown off course without causing a significant threat. Various factors can impact the monthly launch rates positively or negatively, however it remains likely that Russia can sustain numbers in excess of at least 1,500 per month.

Do you honestly believe that? Genuinely asking. If so, why?

CitizenK... don't keep fueling the troll train.
They don't believe you because they're in their parent's spare bedrooms pretending to be grown-ups on here.
We don't believe him because he has proven to be an outright liar on multiple occasions, and cannot provide any proof of his claims.
I HIGHLY disagree with you often, but don't think you a liar.
Citizen still won't even admit that Ukraine blew up Nordstream

IF you had been in this thread from the start, it's generally the case when the trolls begin posting. Thus historically accurate.

Russia's energy giant Gazprom plans major layoffs as Europe market shrinks, media reports
by Tim Zadorozhnyy January 13, 2025 4:13 PM
The Russian energy giant Gazprom is preparing to lay off 1,600 employees from its central office as it faces significant financial losses and dwindling market presence in Europe, Russia's local 47News media outlet reported on Jan. 13.
The news comes after Ukraine halted the transit of Russian gas to other European countries, ending an arrangement dating back to Soviet times.
Deputy Chairman of the Management Committee Elena Ilyukhina reportedly sent a letter to Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller, outlining the need for cost optimization due to "challenges facing the Gazprom Group."
