The figure is higher than the same draft last year when Putin recruited 130,000, and in spring when he drafted another 150,000.

Vladimir Putin has ordered the conscription of another 133,000 soldiers to aid his war in Ukraine.

The 18-to-30 year olds will be called up between tomorrow and December 31, but parents have raised fear that the untrained conscripts will be thrust straight into ‘hot’ border regions close to the war zone.

The figure is higher than the same draft last year when Putin recruited 130,000, and in spring when he drafted another 150,000.

The Russian regime is facing an increasing backlash over use of conscripts close to the war zone in defiance of an earlier Putin promise to parents that he would not put recruits in harm’s way.

    It’s just sad to see those young men going into a completely useless war special military operation. A lot of them won’t come home, a lot will return mutilated. Putin is a sick piece of shit.
