Russian soldiers appear drunk after mobilization in Ukraine

The conscription of the Russian male population by Vladimir Putin is underway, but new videos show the true face of the operation as men are seen drunk and unruly.

Days after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization, the real reality of Putin's brutal war in Ukraine obviously lies with the desperate citizens of Russia.

Videos show reluctant conscripts at recruiting offices and staging points drinking insanely as military commanders attempt to put them in order before boarding buses and planes.

The president on Wednesday confirmed the implementation of a partial military mobilization, in direct response to the so-called dangers posed by the west.

On Saturday, he said anyone disobeying the order could face up to a decade in prison.

Several clips show very drunk Russian recruits as they prepare to leave for two weeks of basic training before being thrown to the front lines.

One video shows a Russian conscript passed out in the grass near a runway as others stumble towards the plane, while in another a drunken group tries to get a punch as the bus is waiting for them.

"Shut the fuck up! Why are you all yelling?" a recruiting agent can be heard barking at newcomers in yet another video.

"Why are YOU screaming?" they answer.

“Stop yelling, let him talk,” says another recruit.

"That's it! The games are over! You're all military now!" shouts the officer.
