This is the moment a group of young Russian soldiers conscripted to fight on the frontlines in Ukraine finally lose it. One lad in a Russian army helmet too big for his head points to himself and says, 'I'm 18 years old.' In 2019 alone there were 51,000 recorded cases of human rights violations among young conscripts - and 9,890 sexual assaults, according to the Russian defence ministry. Russian army messages intercepted by the Ukrainian army also suggest Russian forces are fighting low morale, with many suffering from frostbite and supply shortages. Around 15,000 Russian troops died during the Soviet Union's ten-year war in Afghanistan following the 1979 invasion.
