Extreme content warning, but if you want to know more about these kinds of places, these are some good articles: https://eventsinukraine.substack.com/p/concentration-camp-army

The tl;dr is that theres a lot more places like this around Ukraine. Most who are press ganged get throw into theses places where the "training" is basically torture and they're killed if they try to escape. Often they're handcuffed for transport and sometimes even in barracks. Then units will come in seeking replacements and pick out people like cattle, with the so-called "assault regiments" getting first picks, who then use them in suicidal attacks. If you want some more reading, Peter Korotaev, the author of Events in Ukraine, places a lot of blame at the feet of Western media for creating the incentive for flashy but tactically and strategically worthless, or even outright disadvantageous, "counter-offensives" to create headlines that then encourage Western publics to continue supporting the war: https://eventsinukraine.substack.com/p/the-media-and-the-bloodbath
