Those old Ukrainian vets aren't being used as cannon fodder but in training roles or leadership positions. And quite often those that aren't allowed to join are instead joining the local territorial defense. Got to remember Ukraine stop mobilization not because of the lack of manpower but the lack of training and equipment for them. In addition the shrinking front line mean they didn't want to pack more people in and make them easier targets. Russia doesn't care about any of those factors.
