    I don’t know because I can’t parce what’s happening in the video very well. But in the background Russia has been forcing conscription of they own people since it started. Dudes ran, had to he arrested. Since this little project is happening so far away from Moscow, Russia’s been relying on secondary kinds of manpower like one time mercenaries or now conscription of Ukrainians when they can.

    You probably just get used to seeing them try it. Word gets around. You start noticing when lone dudes get mobbed because that’s who they’re looking for

      Wait, let me get this straight. You think the conscription officers in this video are Russians?
