This fall, as Russia’s losses mounted in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin announced a draft. Almost immediately, hundreds of thousands of men fled the country, though many more stayed.
Valerie Hopkins, an international correspondent for The Times, spoke to Russians at a draft office in Moscow to gauge how they felt about going to war and who they blame for the fighting.
Guest: Valerie Hopkins (https://www.nytimes.com/by/valerie-hopkins?smid=pc-thedaily), an international correspondent covering the war in Ukraine for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Across Moscow, there are noticeably fewer men at restaurants, stores and social gatherings. Many have been called up to fight in Ukraine (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/19/world/europe/russia-moscow-army-draft.html). Others have fled to avoid being drafted.
