Russia has seemingly begun to recruit elderly men from all regions of the vast country to fight on the frontlines in southeastern Ukraine as bitter fighting continues to rage in Donetsk.Video footage which emerged on YouTube earlier this month showed a series of volunteer recruits from Primorsky Krai (Primorye), a region of Russia so far east it borders , training with rifles in a field ahead of their deployment to Ukraine.Several of the individuals captured in the video appear to be middle-aged and elderly men, who reportedly signed an agreement with DOSAAF (Russia's volunteer corps) to undergo a short training programme before being shipped off to fight alongside Russia's 155th Separate Marine Guards Brigade.
