'I'd rather leave than fight': Russians react to Putin's draft

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Alexander, 33, found out about Vladimir Putin’s decision to order a partial mobilization during an emotional call from his wife.

“Sasha, they can take you,” she told him shortly after he’d arrived at his office in downtown Moscow.

While Alexander had served in the army as a conscript nearly 15 years ago, he never saw combat. That puts him comparatively low in the mobilization draft, Russia’s first since the second world war.

Still, like many others, he is worried that he could receive a povestka, his draft papers, and be sent to the front.
