Why, they're children, they have nothing to do with this war and can't do anything about it. Its not even like they'll bring enough money back to significantly effect the war economy.

Fuck Putin and his imperialism but this whole collective punishment for a population living under an authoritarian regime seems unfair and petty . Yeah a majority of them support the war but banning their kids from football isn't gonna help that, and even if it did they aren't going to overthrow the government for it.

You may think of them as children, but they are almost old enough (18) to be conscripted to fight in Ukraine.
