Thousands Protest And Flee Russia As Putin Amended The Country’s Criminal Code



In Russia, there is a rare defiance to President Putin and his call to bring 300,000 more troops into his army for the war in Ukraine. Thousands of Russians are forced to choose between going to prison and going to war after Putin amended the country’s criminal code declaring desertion or failure to appear for military service will be punishable by up to 10 years in prison. According to an independent monitor, more than 700 people were arrested across 32 cities. This comes on the second day of what the west has called a sham referendum in the occupied areas of Ukraine, with armed soldiers monitoring ballot boxes.

  1. All Russian People in Protest.. Diktator Putin don't more President in Russia

  2. People need to fight back against the police then just surrendering to the police so easily. They need to help one another when someone gets arrested. They need to do riots and burn the Russia flag.

  3. So when do we start calling it World War 3 ?

  4. Don't mess with Pikachu soldier!

  5. 1:46 the part mentioned in the title

  6. There is no draft they are mobilizing reserves you idiots.

  7. Европа и США виновата в войнах, раскачивает людей, поставляет оружие, оружие и наемников со всего мира,,, в открытую заставляют выполнять то что им хочется,,, зачем вы лезиле, вы 8 лет помогали убивать людей на Донбассе, сколько вы уже придумали санкций против РФ, и при этом хотите получать беспрепятственно ресурсы, бесконечно унижаете русских, врёте своему населению, США и Евросоюз виноваты

  8. Rom 🥃. Death 💀. Supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦.
    To you, these three mean the same thing.

  9. Putin is going to meet a real power soon that he won’t be able to overcome if he doesn’t stand down. That’s a warning from God.

  10. Why cant he just.. give up? His troops are going down in numbers and he's not getting what he wants. He's wasting his time. What good is this to him? The Ukraine are very smart and they don't need this war.

  11. Glory and democracy for the Brave people of Russia. you must fight for freedom against the dictator at the Kremlin 🇷🇺🇷🇺

  12. This is Vietnam all over again. The US government declared that all men who failed to show up for service would be tried for treason; they mostly fled to Canada for asylum. Then there was the college massacre incident.

    For many old timers, this must feel like Dèja Vu.

  13. Go to Prison, in this case is better, as Putin will be gone soon. Inner circle special operation.

  14. TRUE PEACE for PEOPLE

    TRUE PEACE for HUMAN BEINGS…

    TRUE PEACE for Father’s and Mother’s, and Sons and daughters

    TRUE PEACE for FAMILIES

    TRUE PEACE for HUMANITY…

  17. society is collapsing one domino at a time

  18. One of my friends from Russia was jailed for 15 years for an anti-war blog post. Pedophiles and murderers have lesser prison sentences. Over the past 20 years, Russia's intelligence services have identified and neutralized most of the strong people, human rights activists and protest leaders. There are no people left in Russia who could organize resistance. Top please.

  19. In every war people fleet their country nothing new about it.

  20. Иностранцы, прежде чем ругать наших российских полицейских, посмотрели бы в начале на своих, когда против вас жителей ЕС применяют : резиновые пули, поливные механизмы, свето шумовые гранаты и так далее. А то в чужом глазу соринку видите, а в своем бревна не замечаете.

  21. да ладно, не партесь англосаксы, все нормас у нас😉

  22. РОССИЯ💪💪💪💪💪💪

  23. Being FORCED to go to WAR. It should be a terrifying experience. IM SCARED TO DIE 🥺 IF I WAS BEING FORCED, I WOULD JUST DIE IN SHOCK, or hide myself till war is over 😛

  24. Wtf, this is a man that won’t let his ego die. Putin needs to surrender

  25. I'm I the only one that finds its strange that they didn't let the audio play for the guy that fled 0:32 but they have the audio for the Ukraine soilder that's speaking at the end?

  26. I feel like most of these "conscripts" are just gonna flee to Ukraine once they're actually there

  27. My question is how many of these Russians that are fleeing are pro-Russians that supported the war in Ukraine but not willing to fight🤔

  28. Things are about to escalate after these provinces vote to become part of the federation. I hope they have blankets in Europe.

  29. Thousand of USA funding terrorists all over the world.

  30. People, you are looking at fresh dog food. The Ukrainians are gonna season them up so the stray dogs in Ukraine get something to eat. I saw a video on Reddit where a stray dog was eating a dead Russian soldier.

  31. France24 reported yesterday that Putin is conscripting Russian war protesters and planning to push them into the front lines. Well there's a dictatorship for you. Dang that's one cold sob

  32. This is how the USA should handle protesters

  33. Why can't the police officers be mobilized instead?

  34. The Russian army ain't nothing but a bunch of f**** alcoholics they have no common sense at all and they all going to die most of them don't have Ukraine's killed more generals in Russia ever go Ukraine go my brothers blue and yellow Ukraine

  35. Russia is on fire. Putin's days are almost over

  36. 10 years in jail or become a murderer of innocents and possibly die. Tell me more about the jail time.

  37. They should just take all the prisoners out and put them in the army but not ordinary citizens that don’t want this war!

  38. Send men to Ukraine while they have less men than women there

  39. Yeah and people think cops in America are brutal…We don't realize or understand how good we got it in this country.
