The War With Ukraine Is Coming Home to Russians

- As Russia's army falters on the battlefield in Ukraine, President Putin has announced a 'partial' mobilisation of citizens with military experience. But in reality- students, pensioners and people with no army training have been called up. Hundreds of thousands of Russians have fled the country. VICE News asks if Russia's 'special operation' has finally become a real war.

Just an fyi for those who don’t speak Russian. The guy whose justifying Russian actions in Ukraine was translated inaccurately. He uses the word “Hohol” (phonetically spelled with English letters) and Vice translates this to mean “Ukrainians” but it’s actually a racist derogatory word used to reference Ukrainians. So in context he’s literally saying “our goal isn’t to annihilate those “racist term to describe Ukrainians” . I don’t blame Vice for not knowing this but since I am a Russian and Ukrainian speaking Ukrainian American, I wanted to clarify this for all non Russian speaking people watching this.
thank you for the clarification. what an absolute monster he is jeez
Bolshoi spasiba from an Aussie.
So it’s basically a racial slur? Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I always wonder how accurate translations are.
We probably miss a lot.
Thanks Generosity
You always know a war is going great when you're threatened with being arrested for criticizing it.
This is Russia, its sadly normal there, as it is in most authoritarian states. Its just now there is so much dissent and Western media is paying attention to it.
Or when you criticize the outcome of an election
@@depARTmentUhaul maybe because the evidence for a free and fair election is much much greater than any claimed evidence of voter fraud? Maybe?
@@depARTmentUhaul what u mean?
@@depARTmentUhaul Thank you, Al and Hillary.
"What's your opinion on how the war is going for Russia?"
Russian citizen: "I'm not qualified to have an opinion."
Reminds me of how the democrats want us Americans to act these days…
That’s deep
Chinese ‘citizen’:[agreed with tears]
Good that westerners feel qualified enough to think they have their "own opinion" 🙂
@@dota2tutorialTV Yes, we Westerners tend to overinflate the importance and accuracy of our opinions, and sometimes that's offensive and even gets us into trouble, but I'd rather belong to a society where citizens have to become more modest than a society like Russia or China where they have to become more courageous.
"To lead untrained men to battle is to throw them away."

good news, all these russians are garbage anyway. with garbage, you throw it away.
@@chriswesterfield2042 They are not garbage, they are humans. They are people who have been lied to, who have been forced and coerced. They are victims of several crimes of the highest magnitude.
If you think humans are nothing but garbage, I suggest you become a russian yourself.
It was actually Confucius but yeah
That's for real true ! 👍🏼
@@derrindouglas1936 you probably mean civilians
If the Russians treat their own citizens like they do can you imagine how they will treat the citizens of Ukrain
ya, it's documented already. rapes, thieves, shooting civilians, raping in front of kids and then telling them run so russians could play, what they call them self "kids safari" and then blaming that ukrainians do that to themself. russian logic at it's best. and yes this stuff was caught on cameras and on phone calls between russian "soldiers" which is hard to call soldiers, orcs army, nothing more.
you don't have to imagine, people talk about rapes and tortures by Russians all the time
Butchery ; just like Adolf Shitler's SS Gestapo.
It is Ruski mir. Civilization wherein everyone is an enemy to everyone else.
If the Russians treat the civilians of their alleged brother nation of Ukraine like they do, you can imagine how they will treat the civilians of non-brother nations.
I have a son who is 16 years old and for the past 12 years I have raised him by myself. Hearing the man say it was only him and his son and now he is all alone made me feel hurt inside. I guess I understand just how much he is losing and the nightmares he will have about never seeing his son again. I pray that somebody somewhere can find a way to stop this horror.
That is touching. I hope there is some way diplomatic way this can be resolved to give Russia a "win" it needs to justify its actions to their respective people.
Good grief your comment brought tears to my eyes 😪 nobody should go through that I feel for every man on the ground in hell that doesn't want to be there
If this ever happen in your country move your son out of it, dont die for politicians, dont mind what pawns and bravado idiots will say, there many types of courage, avoiding war dont mean the guy is coward thats BS.
if he has adventurers and naive dreams of glory, show him gore pictures of dead soldiers with maggots on their faces and drug addicted troubled veterans and their unfortunaly sad struggle and life... to contrast show him "pictures' of a life with a normal job, a girlfriend, a beach, a happy family meeting and the joy of being alive overall and grow past 40yo.
You do not feel sorry for Ukrainians killed in their own homes? Raped ones? Tortured to death?
Russian people see how they family members are getting kidnapped by the state and sent to death without any military training. And they think it's okay. What an eerie situation.

The same applies to the soldiers who were sent to Iraq and Afghanistan. Both of these wars were evil and useless. The wars are lost and were unjustified from the beginning. Most western troops have PTSD. Thanks to the corrupt Bush Administration

My heart reaches out for the Father in the Blue hat. It is a shame young men have to fight and die for the POLITICIANS' war!!
Unfortunately, it's not a "politicians' war". It's an imperial war of absolute majority of one nation (with all its politicians of different ideologies agreeing) against another nation.
Wow, I just wanted to say that I thought this was a great news piece. As an American who has followed this conflict closely I am used to a stream of media that is varied in quality and intensely speculative in nature. In the midst of that , I found this story refreshingly unique for both its novel perspective and distinct lack of political bias. It felt very human, very relatable. Bravo! This sort of content is what VICE was built upon and I love seeing it in 2022. Keep up the fantastic work guys!
confilct ? its a f+´#ß# WAR !
Putin is not only destroying Ukraine, but also his own country. It's sickening, how much horror a single man with a Napoleon complex can cause.

@@austinhoner5389 You mean the Jewish leader of a supposedly nazi regime? sure 🙄
I was a military officer and I oversaw the training a number of our own troops, as well as foreign troops. I am eminently familiar with what it takes to turn a civilian into a properly functioning soldier that not only will survive those first few days of battle, but also become actual contributors to a fighting force. I can tell you that it takes no less than 5-6 weeks of basic training to train someone to the point they won't immediately die on the line. And 8-12 weeks of basic to where they can function as a proper infantry soldier. And on top of that, weeks of training with their unit. All these boys are not receiving anywhere near enough training or equipment. Many of them are going to die without being given the training necessary. This is a f**king tragedy and a farce.
It is absolutely not a tragedy that the invaders don't get enough training or equipment prior to invading my country in order to annihilate my people.
In your dreams
Never were anything and haven’t did shet🥴🤡

Russians in Ukraine were attacked, something western media never tells you

@@muhammadswalih8923 Sharing a border with Ukraine is no excuse to try to devour it as if 19th century geopolitics were back in style.
Saying “the Americans were wrong…” has nothing to do with whether the Russians are wrong in Ukraine. They are trying to steal territory and appliances, nothing less. And that is why their efforts are so hilariously ineffective.

3:27 Kills me everytime...
Next time you say that “all Russians are responsible for this war” just remember that you’ve probably never experienced a dictatorship and don’t know what it’s like to have to chose between your family’s safety and your life. These boys are going to war bc they have to, not bc they want to. They cannot say these things out loud because 1. they will be incarcerated or 2. their family will suffer the consequences of their actions, in certain, poorer regions, that’s torture in a basement. Praying for peace and clear skies in Ukraine. Praying for better days in Russia.
right at 3:39, the father says "Hence there is a fear that...", and the look in his eyes, the little twitch of emotion as he truly realizes he might not ever see his son again.... just broke my heart man
I hope Vitaly surrenders at the first opportunity and survives this.
Forcing others to fight for your own ideals is just WRONG!!!
He will come back in pcs

Just imagine how happy it makes Putin that this father might never see his son again.
Living in the students’ dorm neighbouring this theatre, I have been witnessing this mobilisation day after day for the whole month. There was nothing left for me to do but see the young men kissing their families with tears in their eyes because they don’t want to be separated from each other. Watching the scenes of farewell made me disastrously mad, I swear I was full of terror and rage at the same time.
Totally get that! To know that some old sociopath fart is leading your country to ruins! Is killing and destroying not only abroad, but also at home! So much injustice. And certainly not worth fighting or dying for. So many russian families torn apart, just to steal from a brotherly nation in total and despicable traitorship of normal humanity. Poor Ukraine!
Hope you are able to fight this in your own way. Stay safe! Be prudent. And if you can... get out.
Vile russian leadership is already like nazism in Germany, all smart Germans left the country, while it was still possible. All others regretted their stay deeply. It will get much worse!
they dont have to go. i would do anything but leave to fight in this war

True, but to know that this man's son might be responsible for multiple other families in the Ukraine to lose their wives and sons, is totally healing me of that heartbreak.

As usual, humans don't push back against an issue until it personally affects them. They were all fine with this invasion and now that they are being forced to go there, they're like "I change my mind, this is so unfair!".
No, they needed to stand up to Putin
I think that it is disgusting to force someone to go to war and to me there is no difference than enslavement.
And to me, it is exactly the example of what a modern conventional warfare is. Soldiers hiding from drones and airstrikes, clearing houses room by room, guiding bombs, fighting alongside with foreign fighters. I did not know that modern warfare looks like this.
Many still remember Special Military Operations 1 and 2
Many of those "recruits" look frightened. And that one poor recruit is so misled. They are NOT defending their motherland. They are invading a sovereign nation.
It was going to come to defending his motherland eventually, so he's technically not wrong here...
@@java101full he is very technically wrong.
Ukraine is not a sovereign nation but I agree that "definding the motherland" is pure BS.
ukraine is a puppet state. there is no real sovereignty there
and, by the way, ukraine has been having a very belligerent rhetoric about russia for a very long time. it was very actively nudged towards escalating the conflict with russia. war was only a matter of time anyway
This is so sad. Going out to die because a lunatic says so. All over the world since the beginning of man, families torn apart or losing a member like this. The one that hit me is when Yaroslav talked about how lonely he would be if something were to happen to his son. Imagine that, for the rest of your life and in your old age with so much time, not having your wife or son there just to talk to.
Every military in history. It will never stop the wheel will turn.
There is no light without dark, no joy without pain, no rainbow without a little rain.

Sorry, sir, but there is a big difference in "defending" one's own country and "invading" a neighboring one.
I would defend my country too , but if the president of my country orders me to murder people abroad i would personally try to put a bullet in my president for being crazy.
He is indoctrinated, don't worry he will go to the frontline anyway and see the truth, but it might be too late, but who knows.
it was kind of a bleak/interesting contrast of hearing how these guys are replacing the thousands of dead soldiers on the battlefield, and then seeing his face and realizing that there's a good chance that he too is probably going to end up dead in Ukraine.
Thanks to very effective propoganda, Russians believe they are right and are winning. Conscripts will know the reality soon.
On some level I think he censored himself there, so he can’t be implicated in any fallacious charges of sedition or treason
Literally civil protection
Duty. That word. "Duty is as heavy as Iron, Death is as light a feather". Cannot remember the source.
Dude who shot the recruiter looks like he saved at least a dozen people by giving them the chance to flee now.
"war is when the young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing each other" -Niko Bellic
Another war started by a rich old man who will never go anyway near the front lines.
I can't believe VICE was actually allowed to film there.
Can you possibly put anymore commercials in those videos? I thought it really needed a little more....
Imagine drafting anti-war protesters into a war and wondering why your "troops" are actively sabotaging their own "special military operation"
Funnily, Russian Empire did just that. They drafted a lot of Bolsheviks and other radical revolutionary groups to fight WWI. And then former Tsar and his family family had been executed by one of those frontline Bolsheviks.
Just go and wave a white flag and cross over. There is no need for this war. The war crimes that the senile Putin has commited is unreal.
Yeah it's a hilarious tactic. It's like Real Madrid subbing in Barcelona supporters in the final 10 minutes of the match. It's like the L.A. Lakers subbing in Boston Celtics fans in the last 2 minutes. I'm not a fortune teller or anything, but I can tell you it's probably not gonna do you well.
@@Overlord734 well that was a bit different. WW1 had things like mass charges, gas attacks, new tactics mowing down old tactics, etc. They were basically expected to be meat shields. Russia has a long history with that
They literally have a video of a guy apologizing while he's on his knees with his hands tied behind his back. You couldn't get more comically evil if you tried. I hope they didn't execute him afterwards.
They raped him with a dumbell as the first warning.
In the report, they say he was awaiting trial. So, they didn't execute him right after shooting that video. I hope he somehow miraculously goes free, but what is more likely to happen is that they send him to the front without training or gear, as cannon-fodder. If they haven't already.
Russia doesn't have death penalty.
So people are not executed like that.
If the state doesn't like you that much, it'll put a hit on you (see poisoning of Navalny, assassination of Nemtsov, etc). Those are rare cases though, mostly for high-profile people. Ordinary folk are more likely to go to jail.
you forgot he was also raped with a police stick or whatever it was
@@grim_2000 Everybody knows that they'll send you to Gulag, but you can fight your way out of there ;-)
being a lawyer in Russia must be a pain in the ass

I felt that father's pain. my dad left for a war when I was a child. that fear, it's real. not only is he scared for his life, war is a horror.
I'm not at all. He was scared and sad only because his son might die and not because he might kill Ukrainians for no reason
I can't understand your POV or the fathers but in this instance for me it's like watching a father saying good bye to his son going to fight for the SS.
Being sympathetic towards them isn't something my heart is able to do after seeing the atrocities the RUSSIAN troops have done towards UKRAINIAN CIVILIANS.
Like the video said in the beginning speaking out against the war is a criminal offense, the father and son would rather not fight and kill Ukrainians but they cant say so without risking harm/jail time. So you can feel for them and still be human !!!
@marina vase do stop these posts marina
@@victoronwuhafua8464 i appreciate you, ty
One Russian soldier said “ I want to defend my country” . Yes that’s right. But what they’re doing now is attacking and not defending.
So that means he was lied to. Still most don't really know the truth about why they are fighting a war for a piece of land that belongs to
Ukraine. Putin will not stop until he gets this land. 🤔 Then what. 👎😵💫😎
Americans Soldiers have the same Logic. Defending their Country... in Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan....
@@TheBlackfall234 so what? if I'm not mistaken, this video is not about the USA afterall
The terrorist groups today in those countries have generations of men and women abroad with ill intent. Waiting... and some efforts thwarted by our great members of Cia fbi homeland security. We don't hear about the terrorists failed attempts in the news. We went there to pull it from the stem. Rather than grow domestically.
@@flyingdutchman2996 these terrorist groups got funded by America btw at this point, i thought the mainstream was aware of the true roots of al-qaida ?
Creating your own reason and then saying "but its true" is not good reasoning, if it was created by America on purpose.
My grandfather survived WW1. He shot and killed his platoon leader who was an animal. Go for it boys.
Glory to Ukraine!
Героям слава
One thing not mentioned is that Borodai is not from Donbas, he's from Russia and he came to Ukraine to start the war in 2014.
I never thought I'd consider being a suicide bomber, but I would sacrifice my life - if I could kill Borodai - as it would benefit many good people.
@@brahmburgers he's just an officer, FSB is the mind behind the war.
Not enough coverage (actually pretty much no coverage) of who the DPR and LPR members are and how they formed. Pathetic journalism all round. Much is said about the Azovs and the “justification” to de-nazify Ukraine, but nothing is said about the thugs who brought the war to Ukraine. Seeing this Borodin actually speaking his hate for Ukraine should be a must for everyone and to leave no doubt that this was always about taking Ukraine for Russia. Putin has spoken about Ukraine having no legitimate status and this guy, who set up so much of the trouble in the Donbas, has made it clear. He makes me sick to my stomach.
As many other terrorists sent to destabilise Ukraine in 2014. Our mistake was to turning a blind eye to what Russia has been- a terrorist state. The war had never been called, yet Russia has been fighting the war as the aggressor since 8 years.
The comedian just a puppet of Elite power like America 🇺🇸 NATO
That guy that said no you’ll just cut out my words, is for sure aware of what’s actually happening
WOW VERY DANGEROUS SIR !!!! 😠😠I WILL NEVER GO TO UKRAINE !! 😠BUT THIS WHY IM SO LUCKY LIVE IN SUPER INDIA 🤗🇮🇳 THE CLEANEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD , WE NEVER DO SCAM AND WE GIVE RESPECT TO ALL WOMEN THEY CAN WALK SAFELY ALONE AT NIGHT AND WE HAVE CLEAN FOOD AND TOILET EVERYWHERE 🇮🇳🤗🚽, I KNOW MANY POOR PEOPLE JEALOUS WITH SUPER RICH INDIA 🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳🤗🇮🇳

About time
This is madness ... My heart breaks not just for the Ukrainian people but for the entire world. This effects us all. 💔
Yes
10:12 he straight up says "hohols" and you translate it as "Ukrainians". "Hohol" is a derogatory term for Ukrainians and it should've been translated with a notice explaining that.
true
It is as derogatory as "yankies", "russkies", "japs", etc. No big deal.
@@user-zm2zv6bw8i lmao no big deal, get lost кацап🤡
@@xzhto3167 would you kindly explain your definitely non-derogatory term "кацап" for English speakers here, or should I do it?
@@user-zm2zv6bw8i from the bits I've read online from Ukrainians seems like it's more akin to using negro as a slur for black people, offensive in 99% of cases and meant to be offensive unless the people using it are that ethnicity and are using it as a term of endearment.
10:02 honestly this guy gives off some real "final solution" vibes
Watch any Ukro-Nazis homegrown video.
not only that, the subtitles at 10:13 are incorrect, he doesnt say 'Ukrainians' he is used a russian slur for Ukrainians 'hohol', which makes his statement even more of BS then it was already
Considering Putin wanted to solve the "Ukrainian question" - it's not a vibe but reality
He says "we don't want to eliminate all the hohols"
Hohol - is a rude slang word for Ukrainians.
It is like saying "we don't want to eliminate all the ni.gg.rs"
Or "we don't want to eliminate all the slopes" (asians)
Worse things have been said by the Ukrainian government for the last eight years against what they keep claiming are "their people". This response is justified.
In India army recruitment is process of rejection. This year 9.5 lakh (950,000) candidate applied for 50,000 post of *"AgniVeer"* 😇 🇮🇳
Wow what a country who would be ok to want to live in a country like that
"I will defend my motherland"... Says it all really, apart from *who is attacking his motherland.* How can an entire nation in the 21st century be so completely ignorant of the world around them?
Well, Putin did annex some of Ukraine, making it Russian territory, soooooo.
Also, propaganda.
These people were born in a country that's run by Putin, his regime controls the media, uses violence to oppress anyone who speaks out against it and indoctrinates children.
The people you're looking at don't know any better and it's not like they can find out what the rest of the world says if they don't know other languages.
Easy to call them ignorant when you were lucky enough to grow up in a free country observing everything from a safe distance.
Sort of like the MAGAt's we have in the States.
Thought the same thing, then I saw the absolute rubbish that they grow up listening to. Schools, tv, everything… it’s all so filled with Russian propaganda. Absolutely no freedom, at all. Just look at what they do to people critiquing the armed forces?, punished.
There was a reason they were told to say goodbye
Yup cannon fodder for the actually experienced soldiers to find the enemy.
Shouldn't it be "farawell" ?
Everything is so old a beat up over there. looks very poor from the start. I would run like hell from being in the broke ass Russian army.
@@D.Frasure For real deserting is definitely the best option in this situation.
As an America I’m happy we will have control over more of the world so world dominance will work in our favor. But having America as the leader of nato making them able to really conquer the rest of the world I can understand why Putin would be scared and threaten nuclear war. His voice will become more irrelevant an the American agenda will be increasingly stronger war is bad but not everyone truly understands world politics im just glad I’m on the good end of the stick
"Support seems to be more about conformity than conviction." Ok, and that, of course, can only be said about Russia, right ? 😂😂😂
Clearly these people do not have the internet!
How can they believe that it is their duty to die for the decisions of old men in power? It is so crazy to me how they can let this happen to themselves and their loved ones..
That's just autocracy and propaganda. As you can see, very effective even when everyone have a fact checker in their pockets, that's how powerful it is...
Dictatorship are very good on this , I’m Cuban and the government use the not so intelligent citizens in the same way
I guess patriotism is a difficult concept for the multicultural westerners, so let me explain it to you:
Usually, men feel a sense of duty towards their country, since we're usually proud of our land for a multitude of reasons. It's not their duty to "die for old men in power", but to answer the call when your land needs you :)
Same across the entire world.
@@gabrieldantas63 land doesn't need you - land can't speak or express need, in fact, land doesn't have needs. It's old men who convince you it's the land that needs you, and you believe it. Unfortunately they will die but you will be paying for it for decades to come.
