USA's decay has a much larger impact.

Oh, in the videos I've seen they all look extremely young. But maybe that doesn't paint the whole picture.

As of 2024, the total fertility rate across Russia is estimated to be 1.41 children born per woman,[18] which is below the replacement rate of 2.1 and among the lowest in the world.[19] Subsequently, it has one of the oldest populations in the world, with a median age of 41.9 years.
I mean, I agree that they've got to do something, but I don't think that that this is likely going to do it. I don't think that the limiting factor here is sex appeal.
I'm also dubious about the information-control thing they've been doing:
Russia, battling birth rate dip, is working on 'child-free' ideology ban, says Putin ally
Sept 24 (Reuters) - The Russian parliament is working on a law that would ban what the authorities cast as the harmful promotion of a child-free way of life with heavy fines for "childlessness propaganda", a close ally of President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.
I think that the larger issue is people not wanting to raise children.
Why would they want to have children to just sacrifice them to putins war machine? They already live in a corrupt oligarchy. Fuck bringing kids into that mess. I hope the people of Russia overthrow Putin and literally save the world soon

These young are from ethnic minorities, they don't count.

Less to do with the SMO and more to do with the population drinking themselves to death since the Tsars.
The invasion also drove quite a few people away from the country that are of an age to have children.

They used to be at the start of the war when the majority of the army was conscripts and normal soldiers. Most of those are dead now and have been replaced with criminals and people tempted by the very generous signing bonuses and debt forgiveness.
There's also the fact Russia just doesn't have many 20 year olds. The birth rate in Russia fell off a cliff in the 90s, so there are far more 40+ year olds.

People conscripted into the Russian Armed Forces aren’t sent into the Special Military Operation Zone.
Only contractors were and we know their losses, it is 16K up to now:
(From quite a few weeks ago, might be a bit dated)
Motorized Rifles: 6,457
VDV: 3,257
Naval Infantry: 1,305
Tank Crew: 1,806

Special Forces: 736

Basically yes:
"From early summer and into the mid-fall season of 2022, volunteers bore the brunt of the losses, which is strikingly different from the situation in the initial stage of the war: in winter and early spring, the Airborne Forces suffered the greatest damage, followed by the Motorised Rifle troops.
By the end of 2022 and the beginning of the next year, losses among prisoners recruited into the Wagner PMC increased markedly. They were formed into “assault groups” to overwhelm Ukrainian positions near Bakhmut.
By March 2023, prisoners became the largest category of war losses. After the capture of Bakhmut, there have been no cases of mass use of prisoners so far.
By September 2024, volunteers once again emerged as the largest category among the KIA. This shift reflects a cumulative effect: prison recruitment had significantly waned, no new mobilisation had been announced, yet the stream of volunteers continued unabated.
By March 14, the death of over 4,800 officers of the Russian army and other security agencies had been confirmed.
The proportion of officer deaths among overall casualties has steadily declined since the conflict began. In the early stages, when professional contract soldiers formed the main invasion force, officers accounted for up to 10% of fatalities. By November 2024, this figure had dropped to between 2–3%—a shift that reflects both evolving combat tactics and the intensive recruitment of volunteer infantry, who suffer casualty rates many times higher than their commanding officers."
The only time when professionals bore the brunt of the losses amongst Russian forces was in winter and early spring of 2022, they were quickly beaten by the blood that was shed from irregular volunteer formations in mid-fall, the death toll amongst irregular volunteer formations were eventually surpassed by prisoners in 2023 before irregular volunteer formations again emerged as highest category among the KIA later on.
