Russia will resort to drafting college students to throw more troops at the front lines

Russia is preparing to draft full-time college students to the front lines in its war in Ukraine, according to Ukranian intel.

Purported documents, revealed by the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Defense Ministry, show that Russia is "taking measures to ensure the next wave of mobilization."

"Notification offices" are already being set up to help draft the students and ship them to the frontlines, Ukrainian intelligence alleged.

"Currently, capacities for the mass mobilization of students of higher educational institutions are being actively increased," the intel said.

Wearing a mask during a global pandemic was much too hard for them.

They couldn't fight if their lives depended upon it.

And they didn't achieve their goal at all.

When they got caught, they cried like babies in front of the judges.

I hope the citizens rise up and embolden someone close to Putin to put him down before everyone is lost.
