Another video from the Kyiv area: a man is chased, crashes, and is shot in the leg while fighting off officers with an entrenching shovel. Under Zelensky, draft-age men are treated as state property, not citizens — basic rights suspended, movement restricted, refusal met with force. Forced mobilization is not defense. It is the government hunting its own men.

Unrest and mass arrests in Moscow and several other Russian cities today, as the country's second largest political party staged protests against the Putin regime, after obtaining permission under false pretense. As over 2000 led a march in central Moscow with chants of "Down with the Czar", Putin's goons cracked skulls, arresting around 100. The second protest in the past few days, today's march began at Krasnopresnenskaya Zastava Square before marching toward the Russian White House. The government-authorized the demonstration only because they were told its intent was to commemorate those killed in the 1993 constitutional crisis, but things quickly became clear. Chants of.. “Down with the Tsar!” “We want freedom!” “Free political prisoners!” “Honest elections!” “No political repression!” The location and anniversary carry particular symbolism, as protesters were marching toward the site of Russia’s violent 1993 confrontation between Boris Yeltsin and parliament while openly denouncing Russia’s current political system. No mention of the genocidal war being waged at their behest and with their tax dollars.
