In Samara, the murjaks arrested a mother just for walking her child in a stroller through a square where an anti-war protest was held later on.

Here is what things look like at the border crossings heading into Georgia.

The situation at the Russian-Kazakh border is more or less the same thing.
P.S. And here is the Russian-Mongolian border for you.

It seems some of them were hauled straight from police stations to mobilization centers without even a chance to catch their breath.

It looks like images of mobilization orders have started surfacing online.

Sojg: We wiped out half the Ukrainian army while only losing 5,937 soldiers.
If that’s actually the case, then why on earth are they calling up 300,000 reservists?

Brenda Murphy3 said:So what kind of joke is this "partial mobilization" crap then? 😁

Look, they aren't going to draft every single person on the priority list. For instance, they don't exactly need Amharic translators or seventy-year-olds serving under a Fleet Admiral on the front lines right now.
I suspect their primary deficit lies with those categorized simply as cannon fodder. And let's be honest, they probably need about 300,000 of those.

Kyle Nelson2 said:Honestly, you could've seen this coming. If you didn't protect your own neck early enough, you're already too late.

Precisely. The problem is that most people working in the IT sector assumed that simply being part of the industry was enough protection.
They’re just now realizing they actually needed to be officially classified specifically as "software developers" to qualify.

Brenda Murphy3 said:Are you kidding me? 😁

Democracy, Russian style...

Do you actually have any idea who these reservists are that they're supposedly mobilizing, or even how many there are? Where are these people coming from, and what kind of structure are they even working with?

Basically, anyone who has completed military service or received any kind of military training—even through civilian educational institutions:

- Enlisted personnel (sailors, etc.) and NCOs—up to age 50
(1st wave: up to 35 / 2nd wave: up to 45 / 3rd wave: up to 50)

- Junior officers—up to age 60
(50/55/60)

- Senior officers—up to age 65
(55/60/65)

- Generals (Admirals)—up to age 70
(65/70/-)

- Women holding officer ranks—up to age 50
(-/-/50)

- Women without officer ranks who still fall into the 3rd mobilization category—up to age 45
(-/-/45)

At my workplace, every single one of Putin's supporters suddenly decided to sprint toward HR... all just to verify their "Software Engineer" status because Putko promised that specific category wouldn't be mobilized. They haven't quite given me an answer as to why they're so desperate to avoid being sent to the Donbas 🤷

Here is the blueprint for how they plan to run this "referendum" in occupied Zaporizhzhia: little "election squads," made up of election officials and a handful of cops (!), will be going door-to-door. 🤦
I suppose they’ll just roll through in a minivan...

At the medical facility where I work, there’s been this sudden, frantic surge of energy among the men since this morning. Everyone is scrambling to secure some sort of Software Engineer status just so they can dodge the mobilization lists... It’s quite a sight, really. Even the guys who spent all their time loudly cheering for Chick-fil-A leadership and supporting the war and the occupation are suddenly finding ways to disappear from the rolls. 🤦

According to intelligence from the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense, the entire Russian kilo-podmornica fleet has officially vacated its base in Sevastopol.

The base sits empty now, mostly because they only had that specific class of submarines stationed there to begin with. Makes you wonder where they're heading, doesn't it?

Collaborators in Luhansk: rushing to hold a referendum for annexation to the Russian Federation as quickly as possible!

Chloe Jackson15 said:The more money they pay out, the better. ☕

There’s this cartoon floating around the internet lately: a soldier returns home missing an arm and a leg, only to be met by his father who says, "Damn, what a tragedy! And I was just planning on buying some winter tires for my new white Chevrolet."
so much about that

James Chavez91 said:Regarding these potential high-paid contract recruits—it’s still pretty unclear how that’s going to sit with the rest of the troops, who apparently get paid peanuts on a monthly basis.
Maybe their hourly rates will see a bump too. Either way, it feels like expensive fertilizer.

It won't affect the other soldiers at all, because in Russia, everyone—and I mean absolutely everyone—is fully aware that they'd rather take a hit than be the one getting hit. From what I can gather, the money was only ever paid out to the families of those killed in action, and that was pretty much it. 🙄

James Chavez91 said:Russians are setting up recruitment centers all over Russia. They’re offering short-term contracts—3 or 6 months—with monthly pay around $3,000. It’s all just to fuel the destruction of Ukrainian soil.

under motto "choosing the right man"

I was scrolling through Telegram earlier and saw a report claiming that at a prison in Saratov, the Wagnerites actually recruited... a cannibal!
No more, no less.🤦

Kate Cook27 said:It won't be long before they strip Russians of all their rights entirely👎.

Honestly, why should they have any rights at all? It seems to me they don't need them. As long as we’re allowed to sing Hosanna to our great and wise Leader, 🙂who cares?

Apparently, the Moscow Police raided an apartment and detained a woman just for... listening to the Ukrainian anthem in her own home! She was reported by her neighbor

Fighting near St. Louis 😁. Or is this just prep work for mobilization—like what Jessica Peterson2 mentioned?

Precisely.
Every single day, state-run media outlets churn out reports from the FBI about the arrest of more and more Ukrainian spies and domestic traitors supposedly working hand-in-hand with Ukrainian intelligence services.🤦

Jessica Rivera37 said:The song "Red Kalina"—if my memory serves me right—was actually used as an anthem by the UPA during World War II.

It reminds me of that other incident in Crimea where a DJ was detained just because a guest asked him to play a track by Yarmak—specifically "Dyke pole."

Give me a break, Varas. The actual UPA anthem was Зродились ми великої години (Zrodylys' my velykoj godyny).
