It's good that their loved ones care about them, because their government does not.
LIKE UKRAINE'S GOVT
If their loved ones care, why are they not doing mass protests or standing up to police by stopping them from arresting protestors or opposition figures? Just saying, the alternative is the useless death of more ukrainians and russians. Yes protesting in russia is hard, but many of those saying it cant be helped are now being thrown to their deaths. This i feel is the price of poltical apathy.
@@fv5855 Yep. Maybe half will be dead or too badly injured to drive the Lada.
I wouldn't be seen dead driving a Lada but that is another, tasteless, matter.
And do they care that they are going as occupants to kill other peiple?

I hate comments like this because you are implying that Ukrainians have a choice. They were invaded you dumbass! They're fighting for their lives and country! Miss with me that "both sides" BS. Russians are the guilty party in every respect.
So are the Ukrainians only fighting because they are tricked? The quote is lame and lacks any substance.
Imagine being called to a war that no one wanted, and by a man who would never would pick up a rifle himself and fight.
It’s not even a war! It’s Putin’s invasion, and men are being sent to die, etc… Why is he still in power?
Agree to your point. But Putin has killed. Was a KGB agent so if anything he fought for his country.
He has done tho in the past hasn't he
@@wereham Nope, Putin was a career KGB officer who never served in the military.
@@wereham
That he has... but is he doing it now? No, he's become Robert Baratheon. A fat shadow of his former self.
And back in 2018 partying and welcoming the world for the FIFA World Cup.. and here we are a few years later. 😢
BUT TRUMP WAS.GONNA START THE WAR
Just like 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany
Now going to qatar, where more people died to build the Stadions, than civilians in Ukraine (UN source) …
@@goldmann9473 the war is still going so I bet that ukrainian civilian deaths will surpass Qatar's
@@goldmann9473 …..🤯 I just googled it , wow
This is a good example of a rich man's war and a poor man's fight.
No, this is a good example of why poor people choose tyrants to give them free stuff and end up by being sent to war. This is what the russians have voted for, for the past 30 years. They wanted a man like Putin, they voted for him, even if he invaded Georgia, Chechenya, killed russian citizens by planting bombs. They engaged in the bribery mafia system of the russian state, they didn't protest, they didn't care, in the great majority of them. I remember when Kasparov, the great russian grandmaster, protested, and he was beaten in the street. People didn't care. They want this system, they participate in it, they don't undermine it. Some do, but they are a small minority in Russia, they are very brave people, but most are cowards. They would rather kill ukrainians than be killed by their own state for protesting(which doesnt even happen).
Everything in Russia for centuries has been driven by poverty. Poor people with an inferiority complex, wanting war, to make themselves feel strong.
As most of the wars fought on earth.
they could just refuse, maybe start a revolution yet instead they fear their authorities so much as if their numbers are less than them, they were known to be the greatest komrades during the great war and yet now they can't muster up a fight against their own oppression, Russia truly is now the weakest people in the world
These men are turning into killers soon. I do not feel sorry for them.
They are stupid!

If they surrender they will.
I'm not sure that's totally accurate either, a huge number will simply surrender or defect. No one wants to die for no reason and Ukrainians don't want to kill Russians who don't want to fight.
This Is a mass defection operation more likely or mass surrender.
The operation is a joke; this will fail for a million other reasons such as tactics, equipment, training I mean they can send 2 million men 😉 and still lose , spectacularly I might add.
It is sad they are going as occupants to kill people.
This reminds me of when I was drafted for the Vietnam war. Only the poor get drafted.
Sad truth only poor people 😔 I feel sorry for these people and their families. May there be peace soon 🙏 hoping for that
All the great and good have taken flights out of Russia.
But this is worse. In Nam over 18 year span 52,000 Americans killed. For 7 months in Ukraine 55,000 ruskies alrdy killed. A massive meat grinder.
Not the same war

These families have reason to cry. Death, PTSD, missing limbs. Even if a soldier survives battle they will be forever changed by the trauma of war.
think about the ukraine women and children that they are going to murder, f them all
Lets hope so.
Bro 2 week of training bro they will go straight to the hospital or be in a body bag or even worse left there to rot like dud thats practically just means sending them to die and mobilization is not the call especially right now as the cold is about to come and we all know what happens if soldiers unequipped and inexperienced now just practically just double if not tenfold the worse will have to be just to survive the cold not adding any actual action by the ukraine military to just sit it out given they've been dug up and can spread there supplies more efficiently like even at the beginning of the war Russia failed to supply there troops as to why the need of troops given the war is already worn out the Russian military and is struggling to keep ground to there territories.
Thanks to the great leader
Good
These people are going to die for absolutely no reason. I cannot imagine going to die for no reason.

@@simply2187 80% of russians support the war, innocent my ass. I would love to see all of the GOP chicken hawks forced to go fight in the imperial wars of conquest. They won't, of course.
@@simply2187 I don't see them being beaten and being pulled with force to the front lines. Neither I see that "One Man" anywhere near them,maybe other guys who being paid to work for that man. But those aren't "One" - they are little % of russian population. So reason why those russians being sent to invade another country - is because they going there by their choice and will, instead of resisting. And they being sent there by number of other russians that willing to do such work just to get paid their salaries.
They sold each other.
When you look at many of the major wars that happened in our lifetimes, most of the time the invader gets ultimately defeated. Even if you 'win', you lose in the end as locals have a way of regaining power. This war will be no different, tens of thousands of boys will go to their deaths, and hundreds of thousands will have injuries and bitter experiences. Add to that another lifetime of global sanctions, another lifetime of isolation because of corrupt government. All in the name of a small man who is afraid to admit he made a mistake.
What you on about America caused this conflict and told zelenskyy to fight on America are the criminals along with England they are colonels criminals scum of the earth

This is not a foreign war for the Russians and not a foreign land, these territories have always been part of Russia. Such a state as Ukraine has never existed, it appeared only 30 years ago with the collapse of the Soviet Union. And no one would have touched them if in 2014 they had not overthrown the legitimate president and staged a coup d'état with the destruction of dissent in the east. There was a civil war there for 8 years until on February 24, 2022, Russia finally intervened to stop it. You know nothing about the history of Russia.

This is insanity people do not wanna go fight
the sad reality here is...those who badly want war are sipping tea in airconditioned rooms while those who want to live a normal and peaceful lives with their family were forced to fight the war they didn't want.
And the ones that sent them to war sit in warm rooms, drink brandy, eat well and decide how they will forfeit the lives of many by strategically placing these poor people in view of flying bullets. My heart goes out to them all
or playing hockey
Whats so unusual about this???? 😂
Idk what u wanna say, its true, but its self-evident xdd
Until now they were most likely ignoring the consequences of Putin's actions - so long as it didn't affect them. Some would be openly supporting him. Now they _are_ involved, in a way that negatively affects them as well as their families. They need to feel this anguish and desperation in order to start to appreciate what Russia is inflicting on Ukrainians.
They deserve no sympathy.
pretty much like squid game
@Don juan The Russian elite don't consume peasants rations, fine western Brandy and Scotch Whisky

Brave men going to battle... God bless them!
Silence has a price. Fake democracy has a price. Not messing with the regime's policies has a price. Fear has a price. Compliance has a price. Don't getting involved has a price. Not having Freedom of Speech has a price. And in some cases, supporting a regime also has a price.
Absolutely, people crying about russians, when they literally chose this. This is happening TO them, except by their own doing. They have always wanted a strong handed man to tell what to do, think etc. They view freedom as a danger, as destabilizing.
I can't believe how Russians who experienced some of the brutal battles in the past and know it's consequences could submit to one oppressive regime.
This wouldn't have happened if they had an electoral government.
They brought this upon themselves.
Not having the balls to stand up to your nations leader..Pricless.
Sponsoring and ignoring this regime by EU has a price. Continuing to trade with dictator-terrorist has a price. No principles has a price. Hypocrisy of EU leaders has a price.

@@Freemedia.ru21 Putin's war has assured the Ukraine WILL be in NATO.
@@Freemedia.ru21 Even if that’s your perspective, it’s ridiculous. The NATO thing is being used as a misdirection.
Russia is not under threat from the West. No one in the West wants to harm Russia. In fact, people like myself want it to join NATO some day.
Russia is a great country, but the leadership is time and time again making asinine decisions that are purely for power and not progress.
Once the Russian people decide to stop attacking others like Georgia, Ukraine, then they will know peace and stability and prosperity.
Imagine a world where Russia becomes a member of the EU and NATO. What does it far from this?
NATO is not a threat. It’s purely a defensive organization.
@@Freemedia.ru21 Also, the Cold War was already in full effect. Why is it problem for Ukraine to join NATO? And why does that deserve a brutal invasion?
Just think from the Ukrainian perspective. They were interested in being protected from external threats and in search of possible defense, Russia attacked them and brutally.
How does that make sense? On one side, Europe and NATO were offering them membership, peace, stability, economic prosperity, military DEFENSE, and then on the other side Russia invades and destroys them.
At this point, Ukraine should march all the way to Moscow and eliminate the threat at the Kremlin. If they gain any upper hand, they’ll consider it, nuclear threats or not. It’s the dastardly Putin administration and his cohorts that need to be removed so Ukraine and Russia can coexist peacefully. Until then, Russia will be at war with the international community for being an unnecessary aggressor that is apparently very thin-skinned and fragile that it cannot handle another country seeking peace and stability.
Its much worse:
People die
Children grew up without fathers
Fathers who come back change badly = bad for wifes and children
Children grew up in drama
Once children become parents grandchildren will still suffer from this war
Until 2100 they will live and feel the consequences of war
True. My father grew up in a prisoner's camp in a war setting (his crime, at age 4, was being European). He survived, but never recovered. It still impacts the family to this day.
Intergenerational and transgenerational trauma.
Russia with this war so far slided 50 years behind but if it persists with nukes it might go even centuries. No one will ever forgive them and China and India are just vultures that will rip off its carcass as they're already doing by buying their oil but way cheaper.
Those who survive will likely turn to alcoholism, drug addiction and suicide
I hope the Kremlin are proud of themselves
yeah, children die....
but shiny white LADA will be there.

They'll never know the truth.They still have Russian soldiers missing from the Afghanistan war that the government has not declared dead yet.. I think it's a way so they don't have to pay the families. Russian families are saying the same thing today about Ukraine... Only getting reports missing... Probably they don't care about collecting the dead bodies or sending them back or notifying the families. It's really a third world army for sure.
They had to think about it BEFORE, not only when your kids are involved. All these people SUPPORTED fascism in ruSSia.
I just cannot believe how gullible they are, how is it possible that they cannot realize that they started a war? They have to know, they probably just pretend that they don't because it is easier. No humans are that stupid today in the 21st century. There is no middle ground.

@zoka so the other half of the time he is with his troops? Which also means he's on the front with his troops more than Putin?
@zoka except from all the times he is on the frontline with his soldiers. Also Zelenskyy isn't scared of being near his men like Putin is. Them again I'd be afraid of my men turning on me if I lied to my population about mobilisation when saying I wouldn't do it
The worst part is that they will not fight - or die, or injured or incapacitated or amputated - for their countrymen. They are being sent off to save one man's face.
Now is the time for the Russian youngsters to stand together and say NO
I hope Ukraine gives them a warm reception.....
Those pictures are nothing than sorrow. Many of those will not come home.
The future never learns. History repeats itself
Replace future with russia
Yeah try to think a little harder Russia is brain dead as fuck and started this shit.
Humans are primitive... it will never change, there always will be the majority of average IQ people... sooner or later we will destroy ourselves anyways... now or in 500 years, what does it matter?
No..PUTIN never learns.
History repeats itself for the Fools
History evols itself for the Good
alot of these guys arnt coming back home alive! so sad
Those poor women are about to lose a whole lotta husbands, fathers, sons, brothers over the delusions and insanity of their supreme leader that has made himself believe hes the good guy in this completely pointless war.
Not too long ago many of these people filled arenas in support of this senseless war from a distance...now it won't be distant.
Yup
Cannon fodder.
It is heartbreaking to see people being forced to go fight a war they don't even believe in. 💔
The real war we need to be fighting is against the powers that run our world.
some would say "See you soon... comrades"
Im so heartbroken for the poor and the innocent sent to die over nothing but a mad mans dream.
Spoken like a true mainstream media brainwashed sheep.
@Be Straight we get it
@@bangerwiese ya he keeps spamming his comment lol 😂
It's happened before and it's happening again. With the internet and everything, people of this planet continue to tolerate dictatorships. I belive EVERY dictatorship needs to be brought down, and by the people they enslave.
@@Cousgoose ruzzian bot
Lets die for nothing lets gooooo
for putins ego
Once they get to there defensive positions they'll be spammed with messages on how to surrender.
Except for Putin's crooks. Let's die so Putin's crooks can steal more money and build more mansions.
Go to Ukraine, first day surrender to Ukraine, spend the rest of the war in Ukraine, chat with your relatives and go to a bar in Kiev, in Ukraine.
@@bobsnabby2298 now I'm wondering if thats a possibility. can you just immediately surrender?
Where is that? Ulan-Ude?
War is hell, nobody wins
That bus will be the best piece of equipment they see their entire service.
It's bonechilling to think about that it's maybe the last video tape where we can see some of these people alive...
Let's hope so
"Let's hope so", said the keyboard warrior, who probably couldn't locate ukraine on the map before this war.
Перепись те кто думает что он персонально в золотом миллиарде? Наивные.
No one deserves to die. Everyone has family to look after. Children need their fathers. Women need their husbands.
Very sad. A lot of these guys aren't coming back. And most of them don't want to go.
Shalomov (putin), Israetel (kirienko), Shapiro (soloviev) go according to the Putin Plan!
Reduce, utilize, eliminate the population of Russian Federation.
Most, you mean. It's awful, they're just like babies and not equipped emotionally for the horrors of war. The anger I feel at Putin can't be quantified 🇬🇧
@@Tarcidz Hope your not being paid in Roubles. ;)
@@Tarcidz 15 yrs I read. I've watched loads of interviews in Russia, where they'd rather go to prison than die in another country. Trouble is, being in a country with your freedom of speech stifled means a lot of people actually believe the Putin spin, like you seem to 🇬🇧
Most guys in this video wanted to go, that's the problem. Siberian russians fully support this war.
Soon these people will see what the people of Ukraine are feeling.
we know what they are feeling but if we lose we are screwed and if we didn't start it we would be screwed as well
@@georgeousthegorgeous Nothing would have happened to Russia, nothing. Ukraine only came closer to the west because of Russian pressure and even if they joined NATO nothing would change. The west does not care about you and would not bother you in the slightest, in fact plenty of western governments and businesses were happy to trade with Russia before the war. The west cares about China.
Russia has plenty of domestic problems and to adress them would help every single Russian more than invading Ukraine. The only reason your people are dying and murdering right now is because of one man and his insane desire for Lebensraum.
No, they won't
On February 24, when the special operation began, the people of Ukraine felt what the people of Donbass already felt for the 9th year (the former eastern region of Ukraine has not been controlled by Kyiv since 2014, when a coup d'etat took place and the people of the east of the country did not recognize the new government). We Russian people know perfectly well what we are fighting for and are well aware of what these neo-Nazis from the Ukrainian army did and are doing with our people. Russians have been exterminated in eastern Ukraine since 2014, but the entire Western world didn’t care. They don’t care about the Ukrainians either, this is just cannon fodder for the war with Russia, which they have always dreamed of destroying. The Europeans and Americans themselves are afraid to fight directly with us.
@@x228x2 Yes, they will
There are old men in these buses. What the hell.
I never thought I'd see the fabled Russian Meat Grinder in my life time.
More sheep for the meat grinder....
Oh well it'll just make Putin's Russia all the more weaker and put him in a bad position not just internationally but domestically as well
Truth!
Very Spezialski Mobilizatski: travelling 5000 kilometers by bus😁
Every country have laws and measures like this
As one Turkish soldier said to an allied soldier, during a ceasefire in WW1 while pointing toward two graves, "That one is politics and that one is diplomacy."
If it was ww1 it was the ottomans still
The major part of the population like 95% at that time, weren't even so sophisticated to know the meanings of these words. A very close relative lives in the far east of Türkey. The last people who stopped living in actual cave's where in the 1960's! As the great industrialisation in the area began. These were actual proper "Cave People" living there as it was explained. I assume part of our "forgotten history". These prehistoric caves are still intact and free to visit since these are of historical importance.
@@AR9LegendWhat about the 3 million Turkish slaughtered by Armenian gangs and Greece soldiers at Anatolia.Please read Bernard Lewis and ignore the American politics that depends on Armenian and greek origin votes.The true history is different.
@@willrocky4272 You are quite correct about a genocide being committed against Turks in Anatolia, however, your details are substantially off the mark. Almost the entirity of the people concerned were Christian Ottomans of Greek origin and were systematically murdered by the Ottoman government led by the Three Pashas, not ethnic muslim Turks murdered by Greeks as you say. There were reprisals in some areas of boirder regions against minority populations of Ottoman muslims, but in the main these were minor and not remotely comparable with what was going on in Anatolia. Also, the death toll was placed at between 300.000 to 900.000, so even at the maximum of that range your quote of 3 million is way off. Finally, just referencing Bernard Lewis who to say the least is wildly unorthodox is his approach to hisotircal events and terminology used in crimes against humanity is hardly a sensible way of continuing this debate!
