Red Square in Moscow

Anton Herashchenko, advisor to the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, publishes many materials on his Twitter profile that show what is happening in Russia. Now, one of the reporters asked the people of Russia what they think about the war and the second military mobilization.

Disputes are to continue in the Kremlin regarding the second wave of “partial” mobilization. All because more and more Russian soldiers are dying on the front, and Vladimir Putin's army, under pressure from the Ukrainians, needs to replenish these losses.

There is information circulating in the regime's Telegram channels that it is planned to mobilize approximately 170-175 thousand reservists. What do the people of Moscow say about this? One of the reporters walked through the streets of the country's capital and asked random residents.

If they call me to conscript me into the army, of course I will go, assures a young Russian I met on the street.

When the reporter asked him if he knew where he might be drafted and what to do, the man from Russia replied:

What did our grandparents and great-grandparents do during World War II? We will do the same, fight for our homeland - he adds.

A survey on the streets of Moscow. “What is this war for”?

A year ago, Vladimir Putin already carried out the first wave of mobilization in the Russian army. Now there is more talk that the Russian president will also decide to take a similar step in the fall of this year. What do the people of Moscow say about this?

“Can I use profanity? That's fu**ed up. They send people to their deaths. After so many months, I still haven't understood what the purpose of this war is. There is only fighting and fighting. We don't want to take over a country like Ukraine. We have some problems with various countries, but there is no obvious excuse for war. This is terrible” – we hear during the interview.

One of the women, in turn, admitted that many Russians try to distance themselves from what is happening in the media and try to live their own lives, because it is not known how much time each of them has left. - I read less news and I feel better about it – assures the Russian.
