Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said the military is adding 300,000 soldiers from the ranks of 25 million reservists – primarily gunners, artillerymen, tank drivers and signal corps veterans. But some draftees said they had no military experience. The British Defense Ministry said the new troops "are unlikely to be combat-effective for months.''

A spinoff from the shuttered independent Russian website Novaya Gazeta, Novaya Gazeta Europe, said the prices for tickets to countries not requiring visas jumped significantly and were "completely gone" by Wednesday night.

    1. Like Hitler lied to pile people into railway cars, Republicans lie to pile people into planes to ship them to different states. They are as inhumane as Hitler.

  1. This hurts my heart. Even Russians are becoming scared of Putian. He needs to be stopped before more & more people getting hurt. It’s like the draft for our soldiers who served in Vietnam & other wars. Is the United States going to be on his hit list next ?

    1. “Even the Russians are being scared of putin” bro we have been oppressed by putin and pretty much had a streak of dictators oppressing us Russians for many centuries.

    1. Russian speaking Mexicans soon to arrive. Governor Desantis will be happy he has more migrants to use in another Cruel Political Stunt.

    2. @Liz Pedano no. that would be in your head. where trump obviously lives rent free.

    1. It seams like a majority of Russians currently in Ukraine don’t even want to fight and have little to no combat experience

    2. @Damin lol. They don’t have a real choice on what they vote. Theres a reason putin has been in power for so long, and why political rivals end up mysteriously dieing or in prison

    1. And THE MOST IRONIC THING OF ALL is they are not fleeing from the Ukrainian ARMY or NATO Forces. The Russian people are “fleeing from their Leader!”
