  3. Good luck moms. Your sons are about to get a first hand lesson on how insignificant Putin views their lives.

  4. We need to remind these conscripts that other soldiers are getting paid 495k Rubbles to do the same work they are doing but with better equipment. Think they should go on strike

  7. Still wet behind the ears and about to face a disciplined battle hardened army, this will not end well for them.

  10. Invasion to Afghanistan, you did not complain because you where not from Afghanistan.

    Invasion to Baltic states, you did not complain because you where not from the Baltic’s.

    Invasion 1 to Georgia, you did not complain because it was not your son killing Georgians.

    Invasion 2 to Georgia, you did not complain because you where no Georgian anyway.

    Invasion to Crimea, you did not complain because they told you it belonged to you anyway.

    Invasion to Ukraine, you did not complain because you where no Ukrainian.

    Invasion into Russia, there was nobody left to hear your complaints.

  11. Because Putin is known to have responded to any of other appeals from the sheeple.

    …PLEASE MAKE THE MAXIMUM REPOST.

    CONCRIVES ARE SENT TO THE KURSK REGION HELP SAVE OUR GUYS!!!

    We are the parents and wives of military personnel serving conscripts in the 80th Motorized Rifle Division (infantry), military unit 34 667 -H. Our children have been in the unit since July 6-7, 2024.

    Now the military unit is preparing conscripts for a business trip to the Kursk region. Kursk battalions were created. This information was confirmed to us by the command at the oath of office on August 3, 2024.

    There was no opportunity to talk with the higher command of the unit; they refuse to communicate with the parents. Phones are hidden and They don’t give it to parents.

    In order to send military personnel undergoing conscription military service (including as part of a military unit) to perform tasks in armed conflicts (to participate in hostilities), several conditions prescribed in Art. 2 Regulations on the procedure for military service: they have completed military service for at least four months; after training in military specialties.

    None of the conditions are met by the command of military unit 34667-n. Conscripts will be sent in August-September 2024, which is less than four months.

    And this military unit is not a training unit; accordingly, conscripts cannot obtain a military specialty there.

    There are fighting in the Kursk region and there is a threat to the lives of our sons. The command does not adhere to V. Putin’s statement of June 13, 2023 not to send soldiers undergoing military service to the combat zone.

    We ask you not to allow our children to be sent to the Kursk region. These are not border guards, these are infantry. They shouldn’t be on the border. Moreover, without having served 4 months and without receiving a military specialty.

  16. >The command does not adhere to Vladimir Putin’s statement of June 13, 2023 – not to send soldiers undergoing military service to the combat zone

    Yeah sure, don’t worry, soldiers undergoing military service are just there to make nice photos, spend great holidays with friends and do sports outside.

  17. “Please dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, spare our son or give us new Lada and a bag of rice when he dies for his Motherland against the nazi West, we will now sit in silence, support your SMO and wait for anything to happen, much love – “very concerned” ruzzian parents.” That is all what is gonna happen.

  18. But WHY? either you were not interested in politics or you were supportive of the SVO ?|

  20. There was plenty of time to oppose the war.

    Still they don’t oppose it, they just don’t want their own sons to participate. Someone else’s son? No problem!

  24. Let’s hope they just surrender, less wasted lives and more people for the exchange fund

  25. Yes, they might be sent there.

    But! You’ll get 10,000 rubels, a sack of onions, and a 1 in 5 chance to get uncut firewood for the winter. So I mean… it’s kinda worth it I guess? All the other parents are doing it.

  27. Went from “I don’t do politiks” to desperately petitioning government because they know exactly what’s coming.

  31. I wonder how their internal logic goes: “pleez dear dick-tator, do not take *my* cube – take *other parents’* cubes instead, for the quota must be fulfilled somehow, slava SMO!”

  33. Good, good… let the fear stew further and further until it smells like dissent.

  36. Per the article, this is the latest conscription class that took their oath on August 3rd and has been at the base since July 6th. They have 0 training.

    This is who they’re sending against the best brigades in the ZSU? Is this just a bullet sponge strategy at this point? They’re not even good enough for meat waves.

  39. A few days ago a russian propagandist was addressing this issue, he said: “there is nothing wrong with sending conscripts to defend our land, we sent conscripts to war in all out wars including ww2, who do you think defended russia in the beginning of ww2”

    That’s exactly why hundreds of thousand of them were surrendering to the Germans the first month.
    You can’t send an 18 yo without proper training to war. At 18 he will panic too easily and not know what to do and won’t even understand what’s going on when the bullets start flying.
    Proper training is what America has, up to 6 months of basic and infantry training minimum before any American soldier will get deployed anywhere.

  40. Putin should uphold his reputation as a strong leader by being physically present on the front lines.

    Isn’t he tough? What’s holding him back?

  42. More videos saying you know almighty Putin would never do XYZ to your sons, there must be some mistake! Save us, Putin!

  43. The worst nightmare of Putin is a wide movement led by babushkas. The policemen are reluctant to attack them, they can not be painted as foreign agents and their fury can not be quenched, they will grieve their lost sons forever.

  45. This is a disaster for Russia. Sending 18 year old kids to the front line that have only 45 days basic training against highly professional soldiers with months/years of combat experience and the most advanced equipment in the world is not going to end well for them.

  46. Parents in the regions “panicking” for their son and conscripted sons “pooping in their pants”.

  48. This is good. It is first when a war becomes personal that it becomes unpopular, and that is when people start to take action.

    Dictators rely on obedience. They can only keep control because those under them believe they have all the power. If cracks start to form, if workers refuse to work or soldiers refuse to fight, then those cracks in the fascade begin to spread and you risk the whole house of cards coming tumbling down.

    We saw it just recently in Bangladesh. Unpopular policies lead to unrest, which the authoritarian government tries to crush with violence, which leads to more unrest. At that point it can go one of two directions. Either so many protestors are killed that the rest decide it isn’t worth dying for, or the soldiers start thinking “wait, why are we killing our own people?” and put down their weapons.
