Up to 300,000 military reservists could be drafted by Russia, some within the next 24 hours, after its president Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilisation of citizens for the Ukraine war effort.

Watched this speech. So paranoid and delusional it reminded me of a certain Austro-Hungarian that overthrew the Weimar Republic.
I for one would like to hear about those annexation plans from Putin, not from some commentator….if you want to do news properly, provide original audio where he mentions that, it is not that difficult to do news properly, I stopped watching all main channels already, why are you pushing to be excluded as well? Too lazy on a critically important topic…..I do not have a whole day to search through published videos hoping to find out what did he actually say…..
You’re stupid to complain if you’re too lazy to check on other sources.
What a hury!!! It is like some one with stomachacke running for a restroom.
russian military, please overthrow this madman.
They need a week of military training 😂
The elitist backers are out in full swing today.
Maybe the referedum is a way out for Putin, If those areas vote to stay Ukrainian, he could pull out..Just a far fetched theory mind.
I wish but that is far too optimistic
It’s likely, this wouldn’t be the first time he did something similar, but then what is stopping Putin from saying that Ukraine has started war with Russia the moment the votes come in and say that they do want to be part of Russia (the votes will of course be cheated to give Russia the power), since Ukrainians are in those areas fighting, this would give Russia the motivation to either start a full scale war with Ukraine and Europe, or to launch nuclear weapons into Ukraine. That is his plan I believe, which is very cowardly. But, the positives that come from this action for Ukraine can also happen, the conscripts who have been fed propoganda the entire time will see what Russia has actually done, those guys are pretty much just ordinary citizens, and they will pass that information back to their families and this can destroy Russia internally. The vote could go to Ukraine and Russia could be forced to leave at that point, I doubt this very much. If Putler launches Nuclear weapons, other countries could retaliate, I would believe that the US would absolutely do this, maybe not with nuclear weapons themselves but they would definitely be drawn into the fight if nuclear weapons are used by Russia, nuclear weapons are a danger to the world, not just the people it’s used on. It is clear that India and China are now realising what Putin is doing and they’re both asking for the war to stop, and I believe that even their disapproval of the war existing now or the escalation of the war could definitely put Russia in a really bad relationship with those other countries and Russia would have to end the war. Either way, if it gets worse, there are powers above Ukraine’s own that could potentially de-escalate it, or if nothing happens and Ukraine continues to defeat Russia as they have been, the war could potentially be over soon.
In 2014, Russia inserted their militia to Ukraine and held voting, to Annex large parts of Ukraine, the parts they’re trying to still take now are those same ones, I think Russia can only continue for so long before they inevitably fail, as they already began to.
Putin want some kind of win so i think he dont stop until then.
Interesting but I wouldn’t bet on that.
I wanted you to be right but you are not. Putin needs the influenced referendum to make lugansk province and donbas ”officially” part of Russian territory. With that he can use the argument Ukranine + West attacks Russia and only then he can deploy the reservists. After all, under Russian law it is not possible to deploy reservists outside Russia.
“Before bring sent to serve…’’ Tsar Putin really means, “Before being sent to die…”
half of the world fighting with Putin wow brave man gold help you
We shouldn’t forgot that putin also mobilizes Russian women to give birth to at least 10 children 😂
Nonsense
Lol, when??? and why not 12 birth??😂
As one Russian citizen said recently, Why? To Die for Yachts, for Palaces, for Money? for our Governors kids that study and live abroad?
For more lebensraum. Because a country with 11 time zones is still too small I guess
The Kremlins family members are safe in nuclear proof bunkers…
🕇🇷🇺 RUSSIA President PUTIN – Please just leave 🇺🇦UKRAINE TERRITORY alone. “LIVE & LET LIVE”. THANK-YOU.🕇🛐🛐🛐
more cannon fodder Russia in dream land
stop makes news for Russia. please, international media focus on Mayanmar. innocent mayanmar people died by military. help humanity of mayanmar. they want democracy.
by next week there will be mutinies in Russia. good move Putler
The country which profited from this war is USA and Russia the most. Ukraine is a looser in this war.
Nope Russia is the “looser” that’s why they need to replace 300k troops in Ukraine!
Stupid
This is good, more HIMARS heading to Ukraine.
Tanks, Fighter jets, Drones and more artillery too.
why doesn’t Putin send his children there first?
Not recognised?? Heh. Just ask, does anyone care about that?)) Russia absolutely doesn’t care, they just take what they want and thats it.
Will Russians accept to be send as cannon fodder ?
is that Tony Blair former United Kingdom Prime minister @1:43
Come on Mr. Biden let our military go we will level Russia
That would bring a full scale nuclear conflict
Slava Ukrainian!
Says the idiot wearing a mask in their icon.
If the war drags on will Putin face the same fate as czarist Russia.
Special mobilization operation
love u russia
Idk what this changes, Russias teeth aren’t even in its mouth anymore they are all over the ground.
USA AND NATO FORCES DESTROYED IRAQ, SYRIA, AFGHANISTAN THAT TIME NOBODY SPEAKED ABOUT IT. NOW EUROPE and USA are Crying as a Crocodile tears
Because they r white, but what OIC do 🤫
Everyone spoke about it…
You might find people take you more seriously if you get a grip on reality and make comments based on reality rather than making a fool of yourself.
Oh but the war is going so great! They are just regrouping, why would he need this?!?
Oh…. I said war… Sorry…
To all you bachelors out there, this is a great thing! The more male russian soldiers being sent to their near certain death, the more free and single stunning Russian women available!
God I pray fervently for peace’and Freedom in Eukraine 🙏🙏
Putin is purposely recruiting indignant sanction-stricken jobless Russians to be massacred in Ukraine to preempt potential Anti-Putin uprising and to reduce the growing opposition.
After losing entire “Elite Battalions”, now sends untrained kids as targets.
Yup. Hitler did the same thing. It was called “total war” when the Nazis did it 80 years ago, now apparently it’s called “partial mobilization”.
Russia has plenty of them left whereas Ukraine has lost all of them already.
as opposed to ukraine 1 million highly trained super soldiers ?
@Terron Adolf Putin’s SPECIAL MURDER OPERATION must continue as planned.
@Jon T After Bucha and Izium, the Ukrainians know at least that they are fighting animals threatening their homes, cities and families lives. The Russians are there for the money…
Is not gonna help Putin win war in Ukraine. Just more body bags coming home to their family.
The sooner the better! Zero empathy for russia and russians. Send them all to the frontlines…or they could decide to put an end to putlers misery. Their choice.
Russian doesn’t have enough arms to equip everyone with even guns haha.they might give soviet era guns to everyone lol
Cargo 300 000 good job putler
I pray that the Russian people stop being brainwashed by lies from Putin and Putin’s government and lies from Putin’s television media 🙏
Putin has been lying to the Russian people because the West never wanted to attack Russian people. The West has never attacked Russian people.
Russian people remember the World Cup in Russia in 2018. People from the West and from all over the world visited your country and everyone had fun. That is who the people from the West is. Remember those experiences from the World Cup in 2018. The people that visited from the West were friendly and fun people. Remember and don’t believe Putin’s government lies and don’t believe Putin’s television media’s lies about the West. Putin is lying because the West never wants to attack Russian people. Also many Russians have family and relatives living in Ukraine.
Russian people listen because Putin’s government are doing things that are bad for Russian people. I pray Russian soldiers do not agree and do not follow Putin’s mobilization 🙏 I pray 🙏 all Russian people do not agree and do not follow Putin’s mobilization. Because Putin doesn’t care if your son or your father dies in Ukraine war so do not agree and do not follow Putin’s mobilization. Putin doesn’t care if billions of people die in a world nuclear war. Putin only cares about his money and his power so do not agree and do not follow Putin’s mobilization. And Putin is lying because the West does not want to attack Russian people and has never attacked Russian people. The West wants peace in Ukraine.
Russian people you have the power to stop Putin’s mobilization. Russian people have the power to make Putin’s government change for peace. Russian people it is time to make Putin’s government change for peace or it is time to change your country’s government. I pray for peace in Ukraine 🙏
The referendum will serve as a great help to the Ukrainian government after they fully take control of all lands reaching to Ukraine’s historic borders. How you ask? By deporting all those who voted to join Russia “to Russia” once the Ukrainian Government is in control of all annexed lands again. Russia is a vast expansive underpopulated area which has lost hundreds of thousands through deaths caused by the war and the immigration of the best and brightest away from a dictatorship waging an unjust war in pursuit of wealth & power hidden under the guise of freeing and oppressed people. “If you want to claim “Oppression” I say give them want they claim! Send them all to Russia! I’m sure Putin will welcome them with a open arms and a fist full of Rubles!
nice putin is doing for foreigner so they can come to russia and fck single mom. nice way to boost country population
Russia doesn’t have working nukes. They have not done maintenance on their stock piles for years. The U.S. should consider first strike.
Victory to Russia
If victory is isolation and poverty, you will win. Enjoy your victory and potato money, you cant buy anything with.
Russia has already lost you imbecile 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤡🤡🤡
What are you taking fool do u no how many of his soldiers who have dead I hope you don’t no they have family in Russia ok y he don’t add his family to go and fight because he see u people as a fools
@The Hit Squad excellent response !
Cannon Fodder
Nice Russia
Putin ALWAYS ESCALATES. ALWAYS. This Special Operation is going to finally turn his people and others around him into a Special Operation to end Putin, i.e. kill him.
That is when this war ends.
Zelensky may win wars but he lost his country what is use of it
Ultimate winner of Ukraine war is USA and not Russia Ukraine or Europe🙏🙌
No it isn’t. Our hearts break for all the innocent ones involved.
LooL more Russians that will surrender as Russia is running out of modern weapons no one wants to carry out human wave attacks like WW2.
All this will do is rush through NATO aid to Ukraine u will see leopard tanks & F-16 in Ukraine very soon.
For your Russophiles who think these 300,000 troops will be sent there to attack Ukraine ans occupy more land will be very disappointed they being sent there for one reason only to stop Russia from loosing more land like it did in Kharkiv.
And that is if they manage to get 300,000 flights out of Moscow have been sold out within f 2 hours for the next 10 days men are leaving Russia at an alarming rate
Flee Russia !! Putin the 🤡 will be the end of all of you !!
Your army of drunken 🤡🤡🤡 cannot beat NATO or America. This will not be the end of the world but it will be the end of Russia !!
More meat for the grinder that will make zero difference. Russia’s such a pathetic joke of a nation.
Putin has always won by having more resources than his targets. He will send every man woman and child in Russia to die for his ego. But the Ukrainians have already wiped out a fourth to half of this equipment which he can’t replace like he can cannon fodder.
God bless Russia 🇷🇺 🙏
Freedom to Donbass and death to Kiev ultra right nationalists!
Eastern Ukraine will never join EU or submitt to illigal pro-west NATO funded junta!
URRRRRRAAAAA!
Bring the war damages to all Russians. Well done, Putin! To him, he said ‘ I lost nothing.’
Can you imagine the panic on the YouTube trolls faces? 😂
NATO is totally wicked organization!!! They started this conflict in 2014, they wanted this war. They will deal with the consequences. NATO is a serpent headed by the US fascist government. They use their own allies as pawns and expendable cannon fodders. World needs to stop this monstrosity. There is no limit to Western greed except the big Russian and Chinese brick walls
Account created 5 days ago LOL
Try reality Evo. You might make a fool of yourself less often.
imagine sacrificing your life for a tyrant, sounds like a death sentence to me.
Waiting for ww3 since 2012😍
I wonder if they’ll have enough personnel left to fend off their citizens after the contracts, and bodies run out
I doubt Putin is afraid of a bunch of grieving mothers and widows.
I wonder if there will be any Ukrainians left by the end of 2023 seeing how many Ukrainian untrained conscripts have been thrown into the Russian cauldrons
What an incredible waste of resources, just an ego stroke for Putin
After Putin depopulates Russia, China can invade with it’s 1.4 billion people and become the world’s biggest superpower.
I’m sure that when the partial mobilization fails, Putin will mobilize the women.
Russian Hitler promised that everyone will be home by Christmas
Also need 100000 soldiers from North korea now which will help Russian to fight NATO in Ukraine. It’s no longer Ukraine vs Russia but NATO vs Russia now. China needs to note and help Russia because if NATO defeats Russia than next it will be China’s turn.
China not impressed with Russia. They didn’t deliver what they’d obviously told Xi they could deliver.
Moscow should stop threatening the USA … or we will end Russian existence
I remember trolls saying mobilization would never be needed, because Russia would attain victory within a couple months. So fun to watch conspiracy nuts’ narratives fade away right in front of them.
sluzhit rossi suzhdeno tebe i mne
KGB waiting on orders from their Z masters who waiting on orders from MI6 MI5 who waiting on Old family UK lords Military Chiefs Ukraine SS same and UN
Is there an English language version of this comment?
Ukraine needs to immediately announce an amnesty for any Russian soldiers who decide to surrender, and publicize it as much as possible. Give them the option of life, as opposed to Putin giving them one-way tickets into the Ukrainian Meat Grinder.
And identifying Russian soldiers killed in action and notify the families…apparently, many Russian soldiers lost in Ukraine are reported as missing instead of KIA by the Russian defense department. This is because their families do not need to be compensated financially…sickening…
He talks with visible rage. Brainwashing the people.
Good job Russia 🇷🇺❤️❤️
putin is crazy, we dont nead this
King Putin the great…..URAAAAAAA
Read the room.
russia coming back ready poor ukrain
The Globalist who forced Russia into War with Ukraine neither love Ukrainians, Russians, you nor Me.
All they are after is if plan A did not work, Plan B shall.
Plan B is always about WAR to reduce global population like thay did in WORLD WAR 1 and 2.
Immagine you reading my words now being regarded as “useless eater”. How does that makes you feel?
Grow up.
Watch the Russian public shut down the entire country. Putin cant arrest everyone. Bring the entire economy to a standstill
Let’s hope this 300.000 will detect the real enemy of Russia and walk onto moscow.
Or start their own referendum in declaring independent from moscow and start defending themselfes and their home from this Putin-Hitler-copycat-regime.
Let his family be the first on frontline.
well at age 18 to 65 I guess their has to be someone who can wants to fight lol
More foreign fighters and weapons for Ukraine.
Putin is crazy. like North Korea 👎
Horrible.
Putin talks like it is Russia that has been invaded by a neighbor. LOL
He talks like it’s Russia that has had its territory annexed by a foreign power.
Putin talks like a foreign army is inside Russia killing Russian civilians and destroying cities.
Talk about gaslighting.
Putin is describing what Russia is doing.
The attacker pretending he is the victim. Putin is the rapist pretending he is the one being raped.
And so many people believe him.
Mr. Vlad “we will not invade Ukraine” Putin.
We all hope these russian soldiers die swiftly and convincingly
Their purpose is to scare people of Ukraine,the fact is those new soldiers don’t have professional training,tactic of deter
germany will take kaliningrad finland leningrad and murmansk.
All American leaders earn billions of dollar due to selling weapons. So America want war love war push war promote war To sell weapons. According to WW3 Europe and Asia will destroy fully but America will loss only some fleets. England is not the part of Europe, ir is a separate Island. Europe and Asia have been suffering from American Sanctions And American poisonous dollar. So Europe must have to join with Asia.
It was obvious months ago that he was going to do the referendum ploy to justify escalation. I’m sure the Ukrainians and USA have made plans to deal with this.
Putin and zelenazi are on the same side, it is the WEF against the general public. Welcome to the great reset!
WHY HAVE 55K DEAD ORCS WHEN YOU CAN HAVE 355K DEAD ORCS?
🤡🇷🇺🐷☠️🖕
Keep saying speacial is criminal stupi
Doctors in StP already got notices that they are eligible for mobilisation, and cannot leave. They must report and who knows when they ship?
Let the people decide and then Russia must defend that decision to the end.. or if the people do not want to be a part of Russia then Putin must leave that region immediately..
I think lots will surrender to Ukraine the Minuit they can and strengthen the Ukraine army. The rest will sabotage the Russian equipment
You all can thank old Adolf Putler!!! 😄😁😄
ZZZZZZZZZZZ😄
Z – LOSERS🤣😄😁
How to join in the Russian army elves? I am OFW.
Abandon ship! Abandon ship! The people of Russia need to Abandon ship!
Everything coming out of Putin’s mouth is a lie!
This is not a “war”…just a very-very-VERY-special-almost-unbelievable-hard-to-grasp-inhuman-military-operation
Only in Russia if the USA implemented a draft all the females would gladly sign up with their male counterparts to exert their equality. Psyche, I think not.
