Putin's Dad's Army: Elderly volunteers are being recruited for the frontline amid claims Moscow is struggling for manpower as fighting continues to rage in Ukraine (and they don't look too thrilled about it)
Video footage shows recruits from far eastern Russia learning how to shoot
The recruits live more than 5000 miles from Ukraine but will be sent to frontline
Many were middle-aged and elderly men who did not seem happy to be training
Comes as the head of MI6 claimed Putin's invasion may have to 'pause' in the coming weeks due to lack of manpower
One volunteer appeared happy to receive his training and go to fight in Ukraine, having bought the Russian state media narrative of Putin's special operation being designed to rid Ukraine of Nazis
