    Priests blessed enlisted men who came under Russian President Vladimir Putin’s mobilisation order on September 21, 2022 to fight the war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, an estimated 200,000 Russians have attempted to flee the country to avoid being sent to fight. The most popular border crossings are over Georgia and Kazakhstan, where visas are not required for them.

    Shame to those Georgian oppositions for opposing the Russian refugees' entry into Georgia... Not letting those Russian refugees fleeing mandatory conscription into your country is almost the same thing as supporting Putin's war against the people of Ukraine... And thanks to the Georgian government in control for letting those Russians cross freely despite strong opposition... Also, kudos to Kazakhstan and the Kazakhs for their unity in letting those Russian refugees in and their strong commitment to providing them with every help and protection that they might need, and also for acknowledging this as a humanitarian and political crisis despite them being a strong ally of Russia... Talk about real independent foreign policy...
    As someone who admired Russia before and actually thought that they were in the right (for opposing the hegemonic west), I feel for Kazakhstan as they, too, thought that Russian position is correct, however, as the terror of the war in Ukraine unfolds, we slowly realized that Putin is just an aggressive expansionist tyrant who doesn't care about the lives of the common people, Russian or not... He's just using the emotion of nationalistic and patriotic Russian people and fooling them into thinking that this is a war "to defend the motherland", when in reality its just a war of aggression and expansion... However, this doesn't mean I support the west now... Afterall, its their hegemonic nature that turned Russia and the (nationalistic) Russian people to what they are now... Yes, this war is solely Russia's fault and wrongdoing, however, that doesn't mean the west is innocent, since its their miscalculations and hegemonic nature, and also their "adding fuel to the fire", that worsened the war situation in Ukraine...

    The events leading to the invasion were due to an increase of RuZzian nationals settling in the area giving false information to RuZzia members of the embassy stating that there was Genocide occuring which was indeed false.

Now they see some of these Russian citizens running away to avoid draft- so they maybe see it as selfish act or self-serving.
    Whether the individuals deserve such bitterness is up to debate- some may be truly ashamed of their government's actions. Some may truly be self-serving cowards who enjoy the fruits of colonizing other lands and run away the moment they're in danger.

    BTW the draft in Russia only includes men where women can draft themselves optionally.
    In the USA men and women both can be drafted simultaneously !!!

    I applaud their bravery💕 in standing up against these senseless wars.✨ Breaks💔 my heart there is still evil in this world, especially in governments. That care only about their benefit and not for all. I pray and wish that this war ends. So all the heartless monsters disappear out of here.🙏✨ So mote it be, so shall it be, for all eternity.

    You can live the wealthiest life and country but when war break out, you're just flesh and blood. Love and support other countries that's in need of help and one day they will return the favor to you

    Де зараз ви, кати мого народу?
    Де велич ваша, сила ваша де?
    На ясні зорі і на тихі води
    Вже чорна ваша злоба не впаде.
    Народ росте, і множиться, і діє
    Без ваших нагаїв і палаша.
    Під сонцем вічності древніє й молодіє
    Його жорстока й лагідна душа.
    Народ мій є! Народ мій завжди буде!
    Ніхто не перекреслить мій народ!
    Пощезнуть всі перевертні й приблуди,
    І орди завойовників-заброд!
    Ви, байстрюки катів осатанілих,
    Не забувайте, виродки, ніде:
    Народ мій є! В його гарячих жилах
    Козацька кров пульсує і гуде!
