So.....they've essentially given the Russians a moving resupply?
I know, REALLY dark humour but what the fuck, Ukraine is looking more like Germany at the end of WW2 when they were throwing who they could to slow the Russians down (ironic). I wouldn't be surprised if there's any kids still in Ukraine they recruit 10 year old boys to man an anti air battery...
They started distributing machine guns to civilians in the early days, which led to some stomach-turning incidents that the Western media covered up. So they actually started out the way Germany ended during WW2.
I don't believe Ukraine will draft 14 year old boys or women: the government has to keep the soldiers convinced that they are fighting for the Ukrainian people and not just for a bunch of usurpers trying to save their own skins. Break that spell by conscripting the people the soldiers think they are fighting to protect, and they lose.

I said this when this was still speculation based on someone's Reddit post (who claimed to be Ukrainian) :
Ukraine will draft 14 year old boys before they draft fit, healthy women.
