  1. I would have imagined the Russians would be more willing to fight defending Russian land rather than advancing into Ukraine.

  2. Another interesting take from the incursion. The Russian population that doesn’t live in the 2 city’s are fed up feeling like a second-class citizen in their own country

  3. Where would we even get more information to verify/assess the significance of these claims?

  4. They see what a professional military should look like, and finally have the courage to say what they should have back in 22. I’m glad you got there buddy 👍

  5. This is what everyone was hoping for with this offensive. Russian people saying to hell with this.

    Now we need this on scale and something truly big would happen. Only time will tell.

  7. Would be wonderful if most Ruzzists would turn that corner, but I seriously doubt it.

  9. They know, they all know. Just need the right catalyst and there could be a revolution. This is exactly what Putin and his cronies fear.

  10. Unfortunately it is not simple. E.g. Recruit anyone who wants to fight against RF. Maybe recruit them to Russian freedom legion. But who knows how big the numbers are that are done with the RF.

  11. I feel the Russian population is simply too large and varied to try and simplify their opinions down to one or two viewpoints.

    But it’s good to think some are fed up and aware that they can now have another option. Hope this is true and this sentiment is spreading.

  13. While other videos have surfaced showing civvies welcoming the UA in ways the orcs could only dream of in Ukranian areas they captured, the UA would never be able to integrate volunteers like this. There is the danger that they may be FSB infiltrators, or other individuals with ulterior motives for wanting to join the UA. Presumably, they could create another “Freedom of Russia” style corps.

  15. It would make sense to let Freedom of Russia and their allied militias take over these new recruits, let them
    Handle the smaller settlements to free up Ukrainian forces.

  16. This is what I have been saying. “Poor, rural Russians are dying in Ukraine while those in Moscow and St Petersburgh party at night”
    -this should be conveyed to the rural Russians, that they’re fodder for the wealthy city people.

  17. What was that, that ordinary people with showels and pitchforks can do? Hard to remember. Got it – Revolution… Happened to the Tzar 1919

  18. Funny that even Russians seem to wait for Ukraine to liberate them. But what to do with such volunteers? Can’t trust them to join Ukrainian troops and without proper training it’ll just end up in another bloodbath. We’ll see where that goes. If there is finally an uprise of the “unpolitical” Russians, it can just be good for Ukraine.

  19. The one good thing Prigozhin did with his little adventure march to the Kremlin, was show the world, and especially Ukraine, that most Russians quietly hate the Putin regime and wouldn’t put up much of a fight when faced with an actual resistance movement.

  20. I hope the UA can hold onto these gains. The alternative with be very uncomfortable for these locals.

  21. The Vietnam war tore America apart. it did not end because our government chose it, WE THE PEOPLE DID.

  22. And just like that the uno reverse turns into a hostage liberation situation.

    Ok probably not, but it is rather telling if it happens on a larger scale.

  26. Pretty ballsy vid. 2nd rare russian speaking the truth in 2 days. What’s happening?

  27. I’m glad but isn’t it really risky for Ukraine to allow Russian volunteers unless vetted through like the Legion?

  28. I can imagine that there are many people willing to stand up there, that until now, had no opportunity in such ways. Better late than never! Weapons are an equalizer.
