In Russia, there is a rare defiance to President Putin and his call to bring 300,000 more troops into his army for the war in Ukraine. Thousands of Russians are forced to choose between going to prison and going to war after Putin amended the country’s criminal code declaring desertion or failure to appear for military service will be punishable by up to 10 years in prison. According to an independent monitor, more than 700 people were arrested across 32 cities. This comes on the second day of what the west has called a sham referendum in the occupied areas of Ukraine, with armed soldiers monitoring ballot boxes.

#Russia #Ukraine #World
he has Pikachu on his vest
Putin ist terrorist this say all
Unless the country storms the Russian establishment all together, this will be a waste of time. Putin will get his 300,000 no danger.
Police officers in the news ought to have been sent to fight.
People can be so stupid. When the police and the military are wearing masks, you know, they know, they are doing something wrong. People at the protests need to start shouting off with the masks. Then when police are trying to arrest them, the protesters need to try to grab for the masks. When your neighbors know who you are, as a police officer caught on camera committing a crime, neighbors will get even with you, when you are gone from home.
Đả đảo quỷ đỏ búa liềm!
Stand by ego murderer PUTIN, in fact do better than that everybody stand on the lunatic PUTIN. He has no regard for humanity, yes he can burn you better. 👺🔥
Bla bla, we are waiting NATO scum. Z🐻⚔️⚰️☠️💪
Ukraine will burn.
Over/Under for MSM reporting on a single policy success by the Biden Administration this week? Or will we hear about Trump, DeSantis, Italy, hurricanes before anything Biden, because the reality is this administration is a complete disaster that the biased media avoids covering at all costs?
Remember they did Muhammad Ali like that they locked him up because he wouldn’t fight in the war. So should we really be pointing fingers? Js
Ha ha Russians beating Russians. That will help the war effort.
Liberals*
That meat grinder comment is bothersome. I don’t care which side says it.
Imagine asking 30M+ ilegal 10M+ legal Mexicans living in the USA. if they want Tejas and California land be part of México again.
San Francisco, Sacramento, los Angeles, Santa Cruz, San Diego, the names coudnt be erease.
10 years in prison > death sentence
Russia needs a revolution, families do not want WAR, let PUTIN EGO go fighting himself. Russia is not the only place run by rich power elite, they are crucifying the world at the moment in many areas creating havoc. THEY ARE THUGS and their enforcers. Putin the steel toecap in the face thug. Sad for RUSSIA no true democracy still cheated by a tiny elite. RUSSIA could be vibrant with a huge tourist industry all ruined by a small mental elite power madness. OUR WORLD NEEDS PEACE & FAIRNESS not psychotic leaders lacking common sense. BUFFOONS RULE THE WORLD. and if they carry on like this, they will end up MURDERED ☠️
The United States of America needs to learn how to mind it’s own business or get exactly what Ukraine is about to get and United States of America body bags
There are a lot of anger here in America people would love to protest to but unfortunately we don’t have this kind of freedom here.
Unfortunately as a citizen of their country Russia they should help their homeland .
Russia are being denied entry everywhere specially in the U.S. primarily if they where in the Russian Military .
Be@t em they’re traders!
1:11 I didn’t expect to see Pikachu here.
How could someone be so cruel, so evil! To send tens of thousands of young Russian citizens to die on the battlefield, just for their own rights and selfish interests! Even the death of thousands of people could not satisfy the greedy desire for power in his heart! Beasts have a better heart than him!
Putting and his henchmen and one woman news reporter saddly taking the mick out of the Russia 🇷🇺 people .wee do not now want to go there on holiday , 😫 🙄
Putin not making many friends these days
I fully support Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimean people pre 2014 with proof of residency to have a referendum overseen by UN and OSCE observers.
Being Pro Ukrainian or being Pro Russian in this conflict is admitting your Pro imperialism.
Understanding that the Euromadien Revolution is considered a popular uprising by the west. Russia and eastern/southern Ukraine considers the Euromaiden revolution a coup backed by the west against a Russian ally that overthrew a democratically elected head of state.
The west recognizes the current Ukrainian administration as the rightful administration and Russia and eastern Ukraine considers the current administration to be rebels.
So in reality the euromaiden revolution kicked off a civil war between Pro EU fraction that controlled most of Ukrainian territory and Pro Russian fraction that controlled Donbas and had support in Crimea.
You can literally look at past Ukrainian elections and see the difference in where support comes from.
As soon as the Euromaiden revolution successfully overthrew Viktor Yanukovych and few days later Russia moved into Crimea and annexed it and held illegal referendum adopting Crimea into the Russian Federation. This also caused Donbas oblast to rebel against the imposed new unelected government.
At this point is when United Nations, OSCE, Ukraine, Russia, and Donbas should all have decided to allow Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea to host legal referendum observed by OSCE, UN, and any other neutral observers agreed to by all parties.
We have to make a decision globally and have consistency behind it from nation state to nation state on if people have the right to self determination or not.
Either Donetsk, Luhansk, Crimea, Kosovo, Taiwan, Kurdistan, Palestine, Catalonia, Kashmir, and many other places world wide have the right to declare independence and self govern themselves or if we are allowing the parent nation to use imperialism to retain territory.
As a American that loves history I’ve learned about our continental congresses, about us pleading to King George for more autonomy and representation. King George denounced our ancestors requests. So we unilaterally declared independence against the will of England.
This kicked off the American revolution between American Patriots who strived for self determination against England and its loyalists.
America ultimately won our war of independence against England with the help of the French.
As unpopular my opinion is here in America I still believe my consistent position that people should be able to self determination for themselves and I’ll support that position regardless of how this conflict ends.
Ukrainian fertilizer
Going to Prison or going to War equates to going to Prison or dying. The AFU have proven themselves Warfighters, the Russian’s have not. Слава Герою!!
Propaganda will not win the war.
Sad.
Yeah and people think cops in America are brutal…We don’t realize or understand how good we got it in this country.
Send men to Ukraine while they have less men than women there
They should just take all the prisoners out and put them in the army but not ordinary citizens that don’t want this war!
10 years in jail or become a murderer of innocents and possibly die. Tell me more about the jail time.
Russia is on fire. Putin’s days are almost over
The Russian army ain’t nothing but a bunch of f****** alcoholics they have no common sense at all and they all going to die most of them don’t have Ukraine’s killed more generals in Russia ever go Ukraine go my brothers blue and yellow Ukraine
Why can’t the police officers be mobilized instead?
they’re way to busy oppressing the Russian people
This is how the USA should handle protesters
France24 reported yesterday that Putin is conscripting Russian war protesters and planning to push them into the front lines. Well there’s a dictatorship for you. Dang that’s one cold sob
the western powers have no chance against russia
People, you are looking at fresh dog food. The Ukrainians are gonna season them up so the stray dogs in Ukraine get something to eat. I saw a video on Reddit where a stray dog was eating a dead Russian soldier.
Thousand of USA funding terrorists all over the world.
Things are about to escalate after these provinces vote to become part of the federation. I hope they have blankets in Europe.
My question is how many of these Russians that are fleeing are pro-Russians that supported the war in Ukraine but not willing to fight🤔
I feel like most of these “conscripts” are just gonna flee to Ukraine once they’re actually there
That’s too bad russia
I’m I the only one that finds its strange that they didn’t let the audio play for the guy that fled 0:32 but they have the audio for the Ukraine soilder that’s speaking at the end?
Wtf, this is a man that won’t let his ego die. Putin needs to surrender
Being FORCED to go to WAR. It should be a terrifying experience. IM SCARED TO DIE 🥺 IF I WAS BEING FORCED, I WOULD JUST DIE IN SHOCK, or hide myself till war is over 😛
РОССИЯ💪💪💪💪💪💪
да ладно, не партесь англосаксы, все нормас у нас😉
Иностранцы, прежде чем ругать наших российских полицейских, посмотрели бы в начале на своих, когда против вас жителей ЕС применяют : резиновые пули, поливные механизмы, свето шумовые гранаты и так далее. А то в чужом глазу соринку видите, а в своем бревна не замечаете.
In every war people fleet their country nothing new about it.
One of my friends from Russia was jailed for 15 years for an anti-war blog post. Pedophiles and murderers have lesser prison sentences. Over the past 20 years, Russia’s intelligence services have identified and neutralized most of the strong people, human rights activists and protest leaders. There are no people left in Russia who could organize resistance. Top please.

Go to Prison, in this case is better, as Putin will be gone soon. Inner circle special operation.
PIkachu
This is Vietnam all over again. The US government declared that all men who failed to show up for service would be tried for treason; they mostly fled to Canada for asylum. Then there was the college massacre incident.
For many old timers, this must feel like Dèja Vu.
Glory and democracy for the Brave people of Russia. you must fight for freedom against the dictator at the Kremlin 🇷🇺🇷🇺
Why cant he just.. give up? His troops are going down in numbers and he’s not getting what he wants. He’s wasting his time. What good is this to him? The Ukraine are very smart and they don’t need this war.
Putin is going to meet a real power soon that he won’t be able to overcome if he doesn’t stand down. That’s a warning from God.
Rom 🥃. Death 💀. Supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦.
To you, these three mean the same thing.
Европа и США виновата в войнах, раскачивает людей, поставляет оружие, оружие и наемников со всего мира,,, в открытую заставляют выполнять то что им хочется,,, зачем вы лезиле, вы 8 лет помогали убивать людей на Донбассе, сколько вы уже придумали санкций против РФ, и при этом хотите получать беспрепятственно ресурсы, бесконечно унижаете русских, врёте своему населению, США и Евросоюз виноваты
There is no draft they are mobilizing reserves you idiots.
1:46 the part mentioned in the title
AM I BEING DETAINED!!??
Don’t mess with Pikachu soldier!
So when do we start calling it World War 3 ?
People need to fight back against the police then just surrendering to the police so easily. They need to help one another when someone gets arrested. They need to do riots and burn the Russia flag.
All Russian People in Protest.. Diktator Putin don’t more President in Russia
Russia admit errors in mobilization.”..Putin just signs a decrees to grant Edward Snowden citizenship in Russia…!!Would anyone in Russia stop Putin if he wanted to use nukes?”Protests in Russia as anger grows over partial mobilization”…In anybody’s mind ..who like to mobilized…??it is pretext for protection of territory gains from Months of war..if existential threat remain after successful referendum???What happens if Putin defies everyone and pulls the nuclear option? Is this going to engage the US in a direct war with Russia? What could stop him from doing this?Then it could be everyone’s worst fears.If Russia nukes Ukraine (and for the moment, let’s just say the use it on legitimate military target, but it could be anything), the West might actually start an air campaign to destroy Russian nukes.The problem being, Russia is massive. It spans 12 time zones. There will be some nukes that escape destruction—either at sea or deep in the wilderness.At that point, it could very well be a point-of-no-return. Putin could sell it as “See? The West is attacking us! We’ll have to strike back!”
Russia currently has about 6,200 nuclear warheads. Let’s pretend that only 10% of them both escape the initial destruction and work when fired. That’s still around 600 warheads, which puts them 2nd after the US (5,500) and before China (at 350+).600 warheads is a lot of damage, particularly when many of them could be in the megaton range (the bomb at Hiroshima was “only” 15 kiloton). Combined with around 500+ warheads that UK and France have combined, Europe could be obliterated. Not completely flattened, but destroyed in a scale comparable to World War 2, or maybe worse.Nuclear weapons have never been used in a war since 1945, when the two atomic bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki devastated the Japanese cities and instantly killed tens of thousands of people.”That’s a 76-year tradition of non-use of nuclear weapons. And that is the single most important feature of the nuclear age, and we really want to keep it that way,”.
The horror of the bombings shocked the world into the age of nuclear deterrence, where global powers raced to develop such weapons, all the while knowing that their use would be catastrophic for humanity – and thus refraining from wielding them against one another.On the other hand, Russia most likely won’t exist beyond maybe a handful of “saved” cities and remote towns. Nearly 6,000 NATO warheads will do that to any country, because most don’t see any other response than a full-blown nuclear retaliation.A conventional war with land invasion is pretty pointless at that stage. What is there to conquer but some extremely angry populace and lots of empty land? Historically, unless you are the Mongols, your invasion of Russia is doomed by logistics anyway.Even ignoring nuclear winter or any other climate effects, most Western countries would have a lot to worry about at home to launch an actual war against Russia.
The only thing who can stop Putin once if he orders a nuclear strike is whoever has the launch keys is to fight is only UK ,Paris and USA with dementia senile at the helm..and possible lame duck after mid term election..nobody wants to bet against the Russia .. You better hope they are all Stanislav Petrovs in sight and not some brainless drone.Highly chance of west losing the Nuclear would be apparent…with hyper-sonic nuke …all mankind cannot response to Russia madness???Ukraine can have the weapon from Europe and the US and demands more and more. That is ‘fair’ accordingly to them, but when Russia has the effective drones and nuke to fight from with its 6000 nuke head plus NK…at its own disposal with hyper-sonic nuke as another threat if world III start.. and from from Iran,the USA and the west need to get worried why fight a wasteland like Ukraine and risk world world III… that is ‘not fair’ but Ukraine is a sacrificial lame so to speak reacts at once, by the Iranian Ambassador removal.“Ukraine is outraged that Iran has been supplying weapons to Russia. Ukraine’s wrote that “in response to Iran supplying weapons to Russia to use in its war against Ukraine, today we announced the revocation of accreditation of the Iranian Ambassador in Kyiv,
So anyone can supply equipment to Ukraine, but nobody is allowed to help Russia.That’s sounds like a rules based order, right?But it doesn’t sound like International Law.So whose rules, really rule?Isn’t Turkey selling drones to Ukraine?? Isn’t Turkey supposed to be neutral??Iran should cut all diplomatic ties to the Ukraine. It won’t last much longer in any case so pull your Embassy out before Kiev gets flattened.Does Volodymyr Zelenskyy owns a suit or anything other than a green shirt? It is not like he’s actually fighting in the trenches. No he sends mercenaries and Ukrainians to do that.so likely this protracted war will only end badly with devastating effect on Ukraine!! nobody dare to start world III if that threat and madness ever start…!!!
how sad
It’s the Pokémon badge for me 😂
Funy west news 😃😃😃
Is it just me, or is russia having the soviet union come back through senseless brutality
Scandalous a policeman kicked a man laying on the ground against his head with his foot, what a cruel people living there in russia just like there leader of russia putin, shame on you all policeman there….
I wish the protesters would think outside the box. Watching fellow protesters sacrifice their lives as they are dragged away by police… likely never be seen again. Don’t ever think they will be treated justly. Putin will take ALL his crazed furry out on them. DO NOT watch a fellow protester be dragged away. You will live with heartbreaking regret. I timed myself 1 min and had 9 excellently disruptive, highly visible, protest ideas come to mind. Ideas that would lower the risk to lives. Work smart not hard! Our human brain can think up an unlimited # of ways to reach a goal. IF you join protests wear wigs, hats, sunglasses, makeup, and stand silently linking arms. You are stuck in a Chinese finger trap with authority. The more active you are the more destructive it can become. Find ways to safely overwhelm the visual, in daily life, using symbols like a baby boy caricatures or cemetery stone. Draw on every seat of the subway, or windows of bldgs, hanging from electrical lines, milk bottles, and so on, to portray the reality of what will be lost. So many that authorities are overwhelmed by the job of taking them down. Put prayers and other peaceful messages on them. Just one idea among millions possible. My heart goes out to you. Good luck.
Time to get putin out
If you say or do ANYTHING Putin doesn’t like….
It’s against the law.
all those poor men being sent to die or end up maimed. it’s not right
Gotta love that strong man Russia so great 👍 gotta love how good the Russians treat there people 😂
Z sounds like fascism
Nice to get rid of all the low quality leftists and antifa trash.
Maybe America should do a military draft.
The Ukrainian government should hand out Pikachu badges, now seeing that in the battlefield is enough to make a Russian Soldier have PTSD for the rest of his life.
Putin’s war is with NATO, yet Ukraine fights the battle. The Russian people’s war is with Putin. No one is going to fight it except you, the Russian people. There is no problem in mobilizing Ukrainians. Until the Russian men mobilize against Putin, you will be the enemy of the world.
They must be apprehended and executed in the public . No dissent from the treasonous NeoNazis.
@1:02 if this is what the Russian field hospitals look like… the Russians are f#cked.
Putin is only 5’7” tall and he’s always had a bad case of little man syndrome. That’s why we’ve seen the Vladimir “the strongman” behavior the past 20 years.
You are using old videos. Western media are full of $h!t
The only way this will end well is with the end of Putin. He will never, under any circumstances, admit this war was a mistake. Which means he’ll only stop if he wins, or if he’s forced out of power. And the only way he could possibly win is with nukes.
Might as well do the 10 years in prison than lose your life today
American fake news as usual. Ukrainian getting annihilated MSM news suggesting it’s winning… yep it’s winning alright. Now Russian land is bigger than it was
Don’t worry, they’re just following orders
