In Russia, President Putin’s new draft came into effect today as he looks for 300,000 new soldiers to reverse the country’s recent losses in Ukraine. However, many Russians don’t want to serve. NBC News’ Richard Engel reports on the growing tension.

They arrested 50 at the most
NBC: THOUSAND$$$$$$$$$$$$ (foaming from the mouth)
NASTY US NAZI GOVERNMENT is pushing lies 24/7 to fit their narrative
US goal is to see nukes going on in Europe, guarantying US supremacy over the world and forever
Europe down China's economy collapses overnight
Too bad all those Russian soldiers will come back in a bodybag while their wives and girlfriends are in the meantime going out with other Russian men that will give them more than enough love secretly.
Putin has stressing
Ain't no way he's gonna recreate the Soviet Union Dawg
Dear Fake News NBC. Your lack of coverage of the Cayler Ellington story is disgusting and horrifying. EVERYONE READING THIS KNOWS that the young man, a POC, if he had been mowed down by a Trump supporter, this would be front page news all OVER CORPORATE FAKE NEWS.
But your Fake News, so you are hiding this story of the deranged lunatic who listened to the tyrannical ravings of YOUR deranged President, because you ENABLED this corporate Fake News, and Cayler Ellingtons blood is now on your hands.
I can promise you, there will be a day of reckoning by We the People if this "othering" does not stop, and I can guarantee you will not be unaffected.
Putin is already dying from health issues. Do you think he cares about anybody but himself before he goes? He'll take as many people as he can with him. I get it, this is Putin's 101st threat of Nuclear action, but this is the first time we've had him backed deep into a corner.
Russia as in Russia has always threaten but no bite then when they do bite. It's a laughing joke

Don't worry Putin will ride to the front on his white Stalion..and bare chested will lead you into battle followed by all his Oligarch friends…..
weren't the republicans in love with pukin? 😂 just like dump evil will not prevail!!
Well, it certainly does look like the Russian population is squarely behind his special military adventure: just like Mr. Putin said some months ago. I do believe that was right after he'd said the Russian Federation had no designs or desire to ever invade Ukraine.
I am a mom who has sons. I can not wrap my head around what is happening to Russian sons. What is wrong with people. It is just so painful to watch.
The real issue in that vote that is yet to be decided will they accept Putin’s offer with 96% 98% or 99.9% Putin likes 99.9% but will most likely go with 98% you know for realism.
They don’t come out in droves when Putin started a war with a country that just wants to be left alone, when they destroyed Ukrainian towns, killed innocent elderly and children. Bombed trains with people trying to flee. But now that Putin is taking their men they wanna speak up. Even now if you ask some Russians if they approve of the war they have a (lie) or excuse as to why they won’t answer. Grow a pair of balls people. I know you live in a communist country but come on!
Russians didn’t care about this war until sanctions caught up with them and now the draft. Selfish people.
Prediction. Within 3 months there's going to be some major event. Nothing good is going to come out of it nothing.
You can do revolution with 1,000 people 1 millions people it revolution war. I no it very difficult but the number fighting will give you à liberty. Good Chance to overthtoat the statue
Bernard Québec Canada 👍👍👍🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Get ready men n women. We may have a draft as well
They are giving protesters that are detained and arrested draft notices. Now that is a winning war strategy — forced conscription of war protestors
The dream ends with the one who does not have his own decision!
Why the Russian are leaving the Nazi leader of Moscow!!!. …If they are going to protest against the war it’s a prison sentence, if they call it a “War” on social media or in public it’s a prison sentence, if they resist the conscription it’s a prison sentence, if they disobey an order to fight in Ukraine it’s prison sentence, if you surrender to Ukrainian forces when you are returned to Russia it’s a prison sentence. …The only way is???
The doctrine of liberation runs in the veins of the free Ukrainian heroes!!!
Whoever prays strong is defeated and weak!!!
Whoever says the Nazi's goals in Moscow are to prevent Ukraine from entering NATO and to protect the Russian-speaking of the Russians is ignorant and naive. that is the true whatever,
the Nazi dream of controlling Europe and not allowing democracy and freedom on its borders.
It's not real news just propogada for mor war by msnbc.
All this 'backlash' news is missing the main point. The news is made to make it sound like "russia is losing and russian drafted people are running away (like that has never happened in any draft)" in order to justify sending more weapons + funds (while it still can) & enriching ukrainian-EU-US politicians + oligarchs in the process (why so many things are unaccounted so far? people still think it is not by design?) while the the common folks are getting much more poorer and the homeless would stay homeless…..longer. Just look deep at EU energy scam as well, where the money subsidy going to? it's surely NOT only due to the high gas price but mostly to subsidize the wrong energy prices bet (of course by their oligarchs).
The majority of the western people have no clue of the history of western involvement in euromaiden and what's happening in donbass since 2014, or the complicated history of crimea (like it tried to be independent from ukraine many times before). All they think is russia attacking ukraine, which is missing the big pictures. Let's be honest here, it's about geopolitical grab by the west to make it closer to moscow (remember the initial claim that there weren't any foreign mercenaries and only ukrainian soldiers fighting russian soldiers?). Follow eva barnett who's on the ground.
With so "horrendous" result by 190k russian so far (in every western news propaganda), russia is still holding 20% of the territory. Now imagine what would happen with the extra 300k people. Ukraine is being outgunned 10-1, the amount of ammunition used by the russian in 1 month is equal to 3 years that US MAY send to ukraine and the so-called planned counter-attacks in kherson went into huge disaster. The only winning is…..'empty' kharkhiv that cost huge casualities on the ukrainian side (again and again)…..and people seriously still think the result of this conflict would still tilt to the other side ….. they aren't aware that the peak of weapons shipment was MONTHS ago…..
I feel sorry for the common Ukrainian civilians that's forced to be in this situation by this political upheaval by the west & its corrupt politicians. I sincerely wish they would enjoy peace time soon by this winter.
Regardless of the outcomes, the politicians would stay in warm mansion and the common folks would get closer to serf status ….it's western WEF great reset agenda afterall and many still don't realize it…..
This is how R E V O L U T I O N Begins .. Time for the Molotov's to start flying !!
Welcome to Vietnam mfs
USA
Thay are all gowing to die they will not last long ukraine amy it a very good amy. Them.. men are not good enough … it will bee a blood bath … PUTIN YOU MAD MAN 👨
Here's the deal. It's secularism vs christian Jewish and Muslim ideology.
Literally they’re unqualified cannon fodder… ge definitely not lying sending who dnt wanna fight is not a good idea
Russia is collapsing again
What we are not being told is 300,000 is for Public Information, the real number is One Million, will be trained and ready if needed.
Why not? The United States parisites did that way back in Nam.
Were you born yesterday? Thats what they like. Little petifiles. They are.

Ukraine 🇺🇦 💪 ♥
Don’t fight these fake wars
In the Crimean peninsula 5000 soldiers were drafted, 90% of them were Crimean tatars who only make up 10% of the population there
He's going to draft them? I hadn't heard that. Putin is like a trapped rat. Becareful. I fear he would let the world burn before he'd back down now.
The despicable xzzx Putin is getting desperate. It can't win
That was pretty cool that that soldier was able to see his mother again and she saying that he liberated her is very touching
