Russia has admitted it made mistakes in its drive to call up of hundreds of thousands of military reservists.
Reports have been circulating on social media of people with no military experience being called up - as well as others who are too old, or disabled.
President Vladimir Putin's spokesman has now conceded errors were being made, saying there were cases when the mobilisation decree had been "violated".
It comes as people in Russia continue to protest against Vladimir Putin's plan to mobilise 300,000 military reservists. Reports in opposition Russian media suggested that up to one million people could be called up, pointing out that details of the exact number of required reservists were omitted in the published decree.
In the latest sign of growing public discontent, an army recruitment officer was attacked in the Siberian city of Ust-llimsk. Footage on social media appears to show the attacker approaching the officer and then shooting him.
So far, more than 2,000 people have been arrested at mass protests in Russia.

As par, the propaganda brigade has come on shift parroting today’s narratives and talking points, much like how the vast majority of the propaganda ridden media works.
Found a very informative podcast vid that beautifully and perfectly illustrates it:
For anyone interested, start at about the 14:54 mark, and try not to chuckle to yourself.

It’s all true, and even worse! The Russian mobilization has been a disaster! I read it in the Daily Mail!
“On mobilization in Russia”
One of my friends got mobilized recently. He’s a mobile gamedev and a conscientious objector. So he tried to flee his city (Petrozavodsk) and drove to the nearest border (of Kazakhstan) but the seemingly endless traffic jam made him return in despair.
That’s how they caught him and transported to the nearest voenkomat. He couldn’t believe his eyes. There was a WW2 veteran standing in line as a volunteer. Soldiers were given out vatniks sheathed in camo print. Boots with so many holes that they looked like crocs and kits with personal hygiene items that included condoms. Yes, condoms. A Russian analogue of Durex - Gusarskiye so naturally they were also peppered w/ holes - a point of hearty laughter of everyone involved
They were to be transported in cargo section of soviet plane to Ukraine.
They were allowed to “relax” for a few hours before that - i.e get drunk/high out of their minds and listen to the instructions of the Politruk who riled them up by talking about beauty of the Ukrainian woman and prosperity of the average household.
The tattered drunks of all ages were all ears. “Listen up, scum. You’re about to fly first class to a western democracy. So do what you do best: destroy their livelihoods and make them pay for being better than us. We will defile their land because we can. First and foremost, we are Eurasianists. We’ve learned from the best: Mongols, fascists and communists. You don’t need any training - it’s in your blood. No need for fancy gear either. The strongest will survive and bring his enemies to heel” as my friend later recalled speech.
So obviously he was looking for a way to escape this. He stood up and said “I’m gay”. A crazed mob jumped him and beat him bloody. But he smiled the whole time, ignoring broken ribs and bruises. Nevertheless he persisted. He’s going to prison for life for his orientation instead.

Indeed it is working.
All you have to do is watch it unfold day after day after day on FR since the Ukraine-Russia conflict/war started.
The Colbert video (starting at roughly 14:50ish mark) is so brutally hilarious.....and true.
Corbett, my bad.
Who?
You don’t need to know who.
You know, like Jesus Christ, you did not need to know Him.
All you have or had to do is LISTEN to the message.
And that linked podcast vid message speaks loud and clear especially concerning you day in day out day after day after day after day propaganda peddlers with your daily assigned narratives and talking points.
For anyone interested, start at about the 14:54 mark, and try not to chuckle to yourself.
‘Who Controls the News Controls the World’
—
The process of media control is straight out of Orwell’s “1984”.
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
Oh, just another random pro-Kremlin v-blogger nobody has ever heard of before. Gotcha.
Again, the message is what matters.
But yeah, you definitely would have been among those wanting Jesus crucified cause it was easier to attack and kill the messenger than actually kill the message.
Which is exactly that which you and your propaganda peddlers habitually do....cause it don’t fit them daily assigned narratives and talking points.
You talk about propaganda yet every day here you are defending Putin and his illegal invasion
YOU are the Russian propagandist
Coming from Justin Castro land, I take that as a compliment.
The information is coming straight from the lips of uniformed Russian military. Yet still the Putinas try to dupe and gaslight. Did you see the video of Russian soldiers being told to ask their girlfriends for tampons because the army has no bandages for GWS? Total buffoonery but, sadly, Kremlin loving eyes will never see.
The beauty of social media is plenty of source material is available. Russians themselves are saying: “We’re being sent to the front with no training”, “I’m gong home because we’re sleeping on the floor in the barracks.”, “Bring your wife’s tampons and pads because we have no bandages”, etc. It’s a literal mountain of evidence at this point. Any unbiased observer can see it.
Yup, its amazing. Russian recruits are told the army provides them with uniforms and armor. Everything else, the recruits have to provide, including sleeping bags, medicine, first aid kits, etc.
Newly mobilized Russians are told what they need to take to the war
Ah, TR… there ya go, stirring up the mental ward again. And to think they haven’t even had their morning meds or “group” yet. 🤣
It really is best not to interact with the Putinists directly. They crave the attention, and back-and-forth rancor only keeps them craving more. It’s a sickness.
Very true on all points.
So he chose to out himself and go to prison.
Seems he’d have been better off escaping entirely.
SMH.
