Russian wives, mothers call on Putin to stop forcing husbands, sons to join assault groups

A group of Russian wives and mothers have called on President Putin to stop sending their husbands and sons "to the slaughter" by forcing them to join assault groups without adequate training or supplies, CNN reported. Independent Russian Telegram channel SOTA shared a video in which women said their loved ones had been "forced to join assault groups" at the beginning of March despite having just four days training since their mobilization in September.
