The way Russia sets up its lines, the regular army soldiers are behind the mobiliki and reservists to shoot them if they try to flee. The draftees are probably brainwashed from months of propaganda to think that just going forward and finding a Ukrainian unit to surrender to is more dangerous than their own countrymen who are pointing guns at their back. Although, there are some vids of fresh draftees that have surrendered as soon as they could.

It's actually possible for basically an entire country to refuse a war. When the Swedish government threatened to invade Norway to force them to stay in our political union, the Swedish people threatened mutiny in the army and a general strike, resulting in the peaceful dissolution of the union and Norway gaining its rightful independence in 1905 (a referendum in Norway showed 99.9% support for independence). I guess there was still some support for the union here in Sweden but pretty much nobody thought it was worth a military intervention against our friends and neighbors to the west. It's just a shame this sentiment wasn't as strong in Russia in relation to Ukraine.

I'll share a story, if someone will read it (I won't be upset if nobody does) ... first I'm from Romania 🇷🇴, I stand with my Ukrainian brothers and sisters ... since the day I could understand the people around me, I was born in 1990, I've always heard the same story from everyone, russian army is unstoppable, it's well maintained, highly trained and specialized, well equipped and it's equipment modern and up to standard standards, they always told me if the russians want to invade Europe it will reach Berlin in a week and nobody will be able to stop them, like a steamroller they will cross and conquer Europe from East to West, North to South, I truly believed those claims, I really did and I was afraid and the 24th of February 2022 I believed that they will conquer Ukrainian in 2-3 weeks at maximum ... I was wrong and I'm incredibly happy because of that, that fear shattered in the very first few days of this atrocious and bloody WAR, because it's a WAR not a "special military operation", NO a WAR started by a man without consciousness, without mercy, without an ounce of dignity, a layer and a thief and I hope he will get what he deserves ... I have nothing against the russian people but they are cowards and stand idle while their sons, husbands and fathers die for nothing and they believe everything they are told, ideological indoctrination at its finest, hope one day they will start to wake up ... GLORY TO UKRAINE 🇺🇦 AND ITS BRAVE PEOPLE!!!

[@redred7289]

We used to think Russia had the second best army in the world. Now we know Russia has the second best army in Ukraine. I thought Russia would defeat Ukraine in weeks or even days. I thought they had 20,000 tanks that would simply role into Kyiv. I guess Putin thought that too. But that number of 20,000 tanks include old tanks in storage or stripped for parts that were built in the 1950s and 1960s. And Russia doesn't have enough fuel and ammunition for its tanks and not enough food for its tanks crews.

When I have read historical fiction novels that talk about the Russian army, in those stories, the Russian soldiers have always been used with low regard for how many died in battle, and have been poorly fed and clothed.

If these novels are drawing on actual history to create realistic fiction - and usually they are generally doing so - then Russia has always treated its soldiers terribly.

I assisted in the war as a volunteer by helping locate families lost in the area. I'm healed and ready to return for the fight for the lives that are afraid and hiding. If I am not picked up during the summer time I will walk to the water and swim there like last time to assist the families again. I'm honored to have been given the honorary purple heart and the star for the light of the heart.

Imagine being forced to fight in a pointless war against your neighbors (who had no problem with you or anyone else in the first place), and then dying because you had no money to buy equipment to fight with, but at least you had a tampon because you brought that from home ...... I mean, that all makes sense, right? Right?....

[@fauxque5057]

Thousands of US Troops do the same thing. Fight pointless wars for no reason. Take this proxy war for example. After the US has sacrificed all of the Ukrainians, and weakened Russia, they will send in the US Troops and try to topple Putin and install a puppet government. It worked so well in Afghanistan after all

When that one soldier said he'll add a comment about the weapons that were rusty and jam.WorldWar2 era Mosin-Nogant M91/30 bolt action rifles and PPSH41 submachine guns or old 1950s-'70s "Cold War" era AK47s/AKMs that were stored in armories for many,many decades? The first wave of Russian troops that were sent into Ukraine were issued the new advance AK12 and AK74M("m",translated to Modernized and redesign during the decade of the 1990S)both firing same caliber round(not same as AK47). There is a video shown on YT few weeks ago showing new Russian Army recruits having old AKs(the ones having wooden foregrip and buttstock).One Russian recruit didn't know how to properly sling his AK rifle over his shoulder(took him 3 tries).
