“The Kremlin denies” Its definitely true then 😄

[fancyhat]

Not so easy to ignore politics now is it lads

[josephhoggang]

The fear of death brings sanity to people.

[DavidGetling]

As the old saying goes: "those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind". I bet a lot of Russian mums and dads are now bitterly regretting supporting Putin. But, all this can end almost instantly if Putin and his so-called "strong men" are "removed" from power.

[markdesign]

Most Russians supported Putin, ignored the war....until they have to pay the price!

[kevinjackson]

putin, they`re not deserting the motherland, they`re rushing to sign up for `special` mobilisation.

[petchucos]

A few months back, I saw a video of a Russian APC emptying its clips on an unarmed Ukrainian cyclist, and Russians' reactions were "Zelensky stopped men from leaving the country, blame him, civilians are legit targets." Well...guess who else's being mobilized?

[Sgt_Bill_T_Co]

Ah I see, it's a 'Special Migratory Operation!'

[ThomasAnderson-lhjs]

This just tells me, their not against the war. Their just scared of the mobilization.

[Sam-pnkc]

now Russians know what its like to flee your home from kherson Ukraine

"Its not true until the Kremlin denies it"
-Sun Tzu, the Art of War"

[alsteele]

If no one let them in they might actually take action in their own country instead of running away

[arvopohja]

But they will keep supporting special operation from safe distance

[SoranPryde]

The only thing worse than dying in war, is dying in an unnecessary war

[tz]

Russians: I support the war but I dont want to be mobilized

[cripnessful]

Most of them would have celebrated win over Ukraine

[MartinA-vpbt]

Against mobilisation but not against Russia fighting in Ukraine originally... Now they suddenly not supporting the war (convenient).

[oneGodtobe]

there is over 140 million people in Russia, if only one fourth of them took to the streets to protest against Putin, they could force their way into the Kremlin to dethrone the old man and make Russia a better place to live in and with.

[dannymiester]

France and Germany are not doing enough to help ukraine

[pauljulian]

Hopefully the ones that supported it would be the first ones called in!!
