Russians Refuse To Fight. Kremlin Uses 'Alternative Sources'. Enemies Within - The Russian Dude [View all]



Mobilization methods are no longer effective in Russia. Forced conscription is not effective either. Huge sign up bonuses do not attract new soldiers.

These are so called enemies within who Russian authorities try to forcefully send to fight in Ukraine.
