Russian men have attempted to surrender themselves to Ukrainian authorities. A spokesman for Ukrainian military intelligence said that the men being rounded up for the Ukraine war were trying to avoid the front lines by doing so.
Andriy Yusov, spokesman for the Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, said Monday, (Sept. 26), on state television that recently mobilized Russians had contacted a hotline set up by Ukrainian security services. They had asked to surrender, Ukrainska Pravda reported.

"Now there are many calls to the hotline from newly mobilized Russians or even those who have not yet been mobilized," Yuzov said during the broadcast, according to Pravda. "They call and ask, 'If I am mobilized, what should I do, what should I do, how should I surrender?'"
After Ukrainian forces successfully retook parts of the country in a counteroffensive this month, Vladimir Putin announced a partial draft in a televised address last week. He said the draft would apply to Russian citizens in the military reserve or those who have served in the armed forces and have "certain military specializations and relevant experience."
Yuzov said Russia has already exhausted all available conscripts in the Donetsk and Luhansk administrative districts. Russians were not motivated to fight in Ukraine, and those who had been mobilized or had yet to be mobilized were calling the Ukrainian hotline, Yuzov said. The British Ministry of Defense said Monday in its report on the war that the mobilized men are arriving at bases as Russia now faces an "administrative and logistical challenge to train the troops."
"The shortage of military trainers and the haste with which Russia has begun mobilization suggest that many of the drafted troops will go to the front lines with minimal preparation," the ministry said. "They are likely to suffer a high rate of attrition."

It sucks when you rub up with a bear and lose all because of an immature 16 year old. By the way where is she? You know the Blah Blah girl. Yes where the hell is Greta Thunberg? Where is the champion of the planet.I bet you She will not have to worry about freezing.
And next summer NetFlix will have a series about Greta and how she lived with nothing but a windmill and a solar collector. And by the way, You better hope NATO calls up the Germans. I can't see you heading to the front lines in any direction. Don't worry you cannot escape the blast zone. Oh hell she is now in America, Why would she come to America? Why in the hell would Greta come to America ? Ah she is experiencing mushrooms with Amber Heard at the Ex Royals. Life is good and bird's of a feather will always flock together. Just like you at the train tracks looking for coal. There have been so many that have said.Elect a Politian a "Professional Liar" don't complain when they are eating lobster and yore fighting over the few catfish in the local lake..After all we elected these people for their brains didn't we?
