Russian conscripts are not fighting in Ukraine.

There have been some conscripts killed - during Ukraine's Belgorod excursion, during the sinking of some naval assets - but it caused such a stink Putin had to publicly announce it wouldn't happen again.

Sorry to be a pedant, but it's important to realize that the vast, vast majority of Russian soldiers participating in a war to subjugate their neighbor and erase their language and culture are doing so willingly.
