Anna Chernikova provides an update from Kyiv. Ukraine’s troop levels could soon get a boost. Thousands of men completed required registration following a controversial mobilization law that went into effect over the weekend.

I feel sorry for the ordinary working Russian. They had the brightest outlook for any European nation with huge freedoms their parents and grandparents never imagined under the Soviet Union.

Then Vladmir Putin and ex-lowlevel KGB operative came to power and decided he wanted the old Soviet Union type power back so he and his cronies could steal trillions from the Russian workers. They did this and then Putin decide he wanted to conquer lands back an act like a Czar. Russians lost all that they had fought for since the dissolution of the Soviet Union only to feel the grip of Totalitarianism and Stalinism again.
