Two of Putin's most strident propagandists are panicking about the disastrous mass mobilization efforts, which they fear could lead to a major revolt against the war in Ukraine.
"Simonyan added that after listening to Putin's announcement and the follow-up message from Russia's Defense Ministry, she was under the impression that only people with prior military experience were subject to mobilization-but that's not what happened. RT's head said that she knows many people with prior combat experience, but none of them received any call-up notices."
Is that why Velund has not been sent to the meat grinder?
"She angrily recounted numerous instances where the new recruits included students, those outside the age limit, people with serious illnesses, barbers, teachers, musicians, and a single mother of two young children. Among the people swept up in the mobilization efforts, Solovyov and Simonyan recounted seeing information about draftees as old as 62 and 59 years of age."
I'm sure Velund feels absolutely horrible that these ineligible russians are being sent to fight and die in his place.
