There's growing anger in Russia over the forced mobilisation of men to fight in the war in Ukraine.

President Putin originally said the call-up was a temporary measure but the Kremlin is refusing to say when it will end.

As Russian forces struggle to hold territory in Ukraine, men with no military experience are being sent to the frontline - to fight - and often to die.
