Mobilization Protests Erupt in Penza Region, Russia

Protests have erupted in the Penza region of Russia in response to ongoing mobilization efforts. A video circulating online captures a passionate plea from a local resident, expressing frustration over the recruitment of young men for military service. The individual spoke out, saying, “Get the hell out of here. You f***s are being shown all over Kuznetsk… Mothers have no sons left… What will you say to the mothers later?
