Russian men who try to bail on paying child support are going be forced to fight for Vladimir Putin's troops on the front line in Ukraine.

At 22, Borisova was hailed as a “national institution”, a pinup for Russian soldiers, credited with raising morale among draftees in a Defence Ministry-backed TV show called Army Store.
