Putin’s offering a few hundred dollars to fight? That’s pitiful. What a joke of a “world power”

[theayatollahofrockandrolla]

And by "volunteering" he means paid mercenaries and not the boys they sent into Ukraine.

[BinkyTheGoddessDivine]

Oh, so armies from Europe and US can also send "volunteer" soldiers to fight in Ukraine.

[joeb]

Russian Military looks very weak in asking other countries to volunteer in the fight. Really? They are the ones who invaded. Now they are asking for volunteer help. Pathetic.

[mr.notengodinero]

When Russian says, “volunteer” it’s never be volunteering but behind the scenes threatening their families if not joining the military. I know how Putin works 🤦🏻

“Let’s call in people from the desert to help us fight this war in below freezing temperatures and snow”

🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

[escamill]

Putin is desperate. He feels the pressure.

[Babak]

Volunteers to kill innocent civilians? That’s very sickening, VERY SAD DAY for HUMANITY

[annebokma]

Seems he doesn't have enough men in his army. Ukranian troops are so scary 🤔😂😂

[littleb]

'volunteer' fighters: pay us in US dollars, in CASH.
Putin: o ... ok

[frostbite]

I'm surprised Russia can afford to pay these mercenaries at all considering their economy doesn't exist anymore.

"No indication that these negotiations are going anywhere."
Putin: Give up.
Ukraine: No

[jonasmelander]

From what we have seen so far from this war, Russia wouldn't stand a chance against NATO. Their army is so flawed it wouldn't even be a fair fight.

The are called conscripts not volunteers, we have enough evidence already he is under his own laws illegally using conscripts, this move allows him to say they volunteered.

[ninij]

Wow, this speaks volumes of how well Ukraine is holding up.

[hananhachimi]

God bless the president of Ukranin and the beautiful people

The Middle Eastern fighters are the best in the world with the best experience, give them advance weapons and they will take over the world.

[pedrodepacas]

It's Ukraine vs russian military, chechen rebels, Kremlins, and belarus.. Oh and also ( the so called volunteers

[lindakoester]

That’s because the Russian troops Putin sent are disenfranchised and conscripted. They didn’t want this unfair war with a peaceful nation.
Putin has to accept help anywhere he can get it as the Ukraine people are having to defend themselves.
Imagine that!!!!

[hadleymanmusic]

We got shitloads of first person urban shooters to send
