Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is attempting to seize Russia from the inside. According to news media, Russia's seven-month drive to capture Ukraine, its neighbor, has lately been characterized by a partial military mobilization, the country's first since World War II.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's mobilization campaign affects 300,000 reservists, many of whom are going to considerable lengths to avoid being recruited. Some have even crossed the border while risking up to ten years in prison for desertion.
Zelenskyy stated in a video speech late Friday Ukraine time that he intends to disrupt Russia's unprovoked efforts to invade the nation.


He told Russian conscripts that if he gets into the Russian army, he will destroy any enemy activity, interfere with any Russian operations, and tell us all essential information about the occupiers: their bases, headquarters, and ammo dumps. The mobilization comes after Ukrainian forces regained parts of Kharkiv, forcing Russian troops to either hide among the people or flee. Russian troops are said to be discouraged as their numbers decline.

According to the Pentagon, Russian forces suffered between 70,000 and 80,000 casualties. As demonstrations and over 1,000 arrests erupt around the nation, many Russians have grown to criticize the war. In a Saturday speech, Zelenskyy encouraged Russian soldiers to surrender to ensure their safety.

The Ukrainian President went on to say that Russian commanders don't care about Russian lives; they only need to fill the voids left by the dead, injured, fleeing, or captured Russian soldiers. According to British and US authorities, Putin's newest military measures, including mobilization and threats to use nuclear weapons, might indicate that his invasion is not proceeding as planned.
