War in Ukraine: The teenagers at war with only three days training.

Students Maksym, 19 and Dmytro, 18, volunteered for the Ukrainian army and received just three days of basic training before being sent to war.

Speaking to the BBC's Jeremy Bowen, the young soldiers talked about their nerves and how their families feel about their situation.

After this coming world war 3, Believe me Africa are going to rule the world. My Naija first to break even by the grace of God.

Una see wetin Zelensky dey cause.
These days of social media, things can go out proportion.
The youths are the major users of Social media and most times are not yet ripe enough to make good decisions.
The Ukrainian war has been plagued by Propaganda and this boils down to negative emotions.
Imagine young boys going to another country to show valor,without any form of military training.
The reality, is that, they will be used as bodysheild for the more professional soldiers.
These boys might think, it's like video game but,when you start to see people die,you would know the damage you've done to yourself.
Nobody wey don fight war dey remain thesame. Even cultism war go change your life.

Child soldier

What a stupid president sending his youths to go commit suicide for avoidable war and the west is calling it being courageous.

He is not stupid. Hear this "Si vis pacem, para bellum" This latin adage simply means, if you want peace, prepare for war. Zelensky's situation was easily captured in this phrase " Whichever option you choose men are surely going to die, it's the devils alternative" this is an excerpt from F. Forsyth book the devils alternative. Come to think of it Martin Luther king opines that " If a man has no cause to die for, then, he is not fit to live" The thought of becoming stateless and losing their sovereignity for ever is a enough to make them fight. If Britain had not called the bluff of Hitler, and capitulated under German bombardment during Operation Sea Lion, we may all be German speakers today. Fighting for one freedom is the highest form of bravery, I hope you know that. Tears may fall, buildings may crumble infrastructures may be destroyed, yet this can be rebuilt, but freedom once lost may take centuries to regain.

This man is a very useless man called zelinsky you've failed your people as a president. America has set you up.. And now you, re using unprofessionals and underage kids as shields...... Long live putin..... May russia win the race

The people that are scared of World war 3, no body wanted World war 1 and 2 either.

Ukranian youths are patriotic. In Nigeria, our youths are noisemakers and keyboard warriors on nairaland.
Our youths are not ready to fight terrorism but can die for useless politicians

Ok

Teenagers in the warfront. Just because Putin and Zelensky can't reach a compromise. I can't believe this is happening

The same Africans whose brain has been fried by Religion, the same Africans that clears a farm, build a church on the land and goes therein to pray to God for food

How are you going to rule the world with your ground zero IQ?

3days is much ooo. Many in the north and AfghanEASTERN part of Nigeria are giving weapons to fight and kill without any training. Ask MNK, he'll tell you it's true.

What a stupid president sending his youths to go commit suicide

They can die for their kwantiri

Young soldiers on the move

These kids are not guaranteed of seeing tomorrow all because two human-beings filled with pride cannot come to a compromise for peace to reign.

That's the main reason Ukraine would be difficult to conquer.
They have volunteer forces not forcefully conscripted nor paid.
Russia really tried so far. Even America can't overun Ukraine easily or achieve any different result.
The population of Ukraine is 40 million, the active male are prevented from leaving and they have massive volunteers encouraged by their celebrities joining or posing to engage in combat. 200 thousand Russian soldiers are facing over a million of dedicated Ukrainians in unknown terrain.
Same thing played out during the Nigerian civil war. You can't defeat dedicated people fighting on ideology or for their ancestral land.

Wetin Zelensky cause? I am sure you'd dance with joy if he had surrendered to Putin like a coward. It is youth that fight wars in case you don't know. Theu are proud defenders of their country. They are heroes!

Imagine Nigerians insulting them for fighting for their lives and future

No wonder Nigeria is a mess

This is why I pity those ignorant ipob youths who keep beating drums of war on Nairaland. When push comes to shove, it won't matter your age or military experience
