My opinion the kherson pocket. russia is in trouble. this savage attack on the main population is a sign of weakness not strength. he s running out of precision-guided munitions. the russian army is not fighting effectively. the callup has been a disaster. there have been more russian men fleeing the country than reporting for military duty. and i think this is also, the attack on the bridge, is also a tremendous political slap in the face to putin who is now apparently facing significant internal opposition in the highest levels of his government in the disaster that s ongoing. but this is a dangerous period. belarus appears to be on the verge of entering the fray to support the russians. and we notice that the russian black sea fleet acquired flied some over moldova.
And will report to judge cannon what he thinks is the situation with the documents. john, bob, thank you. have a good weekend. thank you. protests in the streets, russians trying to escape vladimir putin s callup of hundreds of thousands of people to fight in ukraine. are putin s problems multiplying at home and on his unprovoked war on his neighbor? u see that? that s when i realized we can n t let another year go by. i think k we re good. okay. let s go. mom, do you know where some wrapping paper. need to wrap something for grandma. uh, yeah. ready? yeah. this is the plan to finally connect with our family s heritage. grandma! start your plan today with a northwestern mutual financial advisor and spend your life living.
Tried to show the people still back their president and what he s doing in ukraine. within days, vladimir putin is expected to annex a huge swathe of ukrainian territory. there s international condemnation, but at home, the official picture is they trust putin. many of the people here, though, didn t trust us. when we asked the simple question, why have you come to this rally? , there was a certain reluctance to answer. but they had something to say on the subject of mobilisation. the callup is worrying everyone with relatives of fighting age, natalia says. not viera. i d be much happier if my son got wounded fighting in ukraine then die of alcoholism here, she says. fighting is a proper man sjob. this is not a spontaneous display of love for vladimir putin and his policies.
You know, we hear that there is disproportionate callup of certain ethnic minorities. clearly the number doesn t seem to be 300,000 reserviced. and the russia state media themselves are saying 1 million. what more are you learning is happening with the mobilization? one thing we see is indeed the disproportionate recruitment of people that are from ethnic minorities. we see that if we take the average of moscow being, we have evidence is that 30,000 people will be called up in this wave of moscow. that s about 1% of the stated 300,000. but if you look at what percentage of the people are being called up in dagistan, that s about five times more than in moscow. because of the poor nature of those regions, a lot more people have sort of prior military experience because they needed a job. but, in any case, this leads to disproportionate attack on minorities in terms of who is going to die in the first wave of this mobilization.
