There is a Forum in Russia at the moment. These happen often and this one is centred around the SMO.
'The boys will be driven to the slaughter' - Putin said what will happen if Ukraine starts mobilizing 18-year-olds.
'I think that the next crime of the Kyiv regime will be lowering the mobilization age to 18. This is a crime. Even if they lower it to 14, like in Hitler's Germany, it will not change the situation on the battlefield. At the behest of the US, they will also lower the mobilization. And the boys will be driven to the slaughter. Just as today they catch people on the street, like stray dogs, and drive them under the bullets. The boys will be driven in the same way. And then, the regime leaders will flee.'

The Russians were dropping leaflets with a call sign to contact them and what to do when approaching Russian military. Those were the lucky ones - they get to see their families again after the SMO. Many Ukrainians that attempted to desert were shot. Those captured by Russians tell of horrific conditions and what the so called ‘leaders’ did to civilians, not to mention their own.
