high on semi ok welcome to the stream. president putin. popularity ratings have remained high. think the invasion of ukraine on february the 24th, until he announced that they would be a draft of 300000 russian men. and then his popularity ratings went down a little. here's what some concern russians told us earlier. and we call in the morning and among the 1st things that i did check and didn't use the most dreadful thing the taken imagine though days is the partial liberalization of the country has become a general one. and my partner, my friends, will go to the so called special iteration. and i'm not even talking now about multiple arguments that i have had with my parents because approach gently older generation support the actions for president. and now me and men like me, young men like me,

i have to be very hide or run depression. and i know so many young men already leave the country and it's sad. and now i actually and depression. i can fries what i shouldn't do. a 100 vows is reporting for audi 0 from moscow in russia. how many tickets have you? what are you seeing? what are you hearing from the russians that you've met so far? yes, i mean that i, since i have this, you know, double thinking about what's going on. on the one hand, the, like the idea of a great osher that's put in trying to sell to them. of course, the civilization that history and invincible washer, facing the west. they're trying to protect its values to protect its history and its future generations and so on. so they that,

i mean at the call when they talk to them they, they, they like this idea. but when it comes to mobilizing their loved ones with the war, it's a different story. so they talk in these 2 in these 2 themes. you know, the one hand, they like put in a has some popularity, let's say, let's say acknowledge that great popularity actually. now, but at the same time, as you said in your, it's or they don't like how the war is conducted, they don't even like the idea of evading another country. many of them tell you, ukraine is ayesha, it's part of russia. they talk about showered history that russia, russia actually began and you create a new key key and so on. they say all of this, but when it comes to the action of going, crossing the border and killing people to get territory at what many of them don't like that idea, particularly it becomes worse when they are personally asked to go and join us.

those 2 people said and about them organization asked me, they also were very confused about it. i can, we can go into the edition like i have one more thought i wanted to ask you about. and that was your ability to report freely. because at the very beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine, russians went, and now to call that invasion of war, it was a special military operation. how are you able to report on what is happening? quite honestly, before i came here, i was, i was a bit uncertain about how to go about this. i wasn't sure what to say, and i was hesitant. and when i came here, i got to know that things are not that difficult, at least for, for reporters. i'm the only red line really i'm, i'm taught again and again here, the only red line is if you report on casualties along russian soldiers.

and if you take that, we should take that not from the official source of the ministry of defense, they have a daily briefing about the casualties and what's happening in the front line. never, never tried to do that because that sort of line that us is ok. i beg of us i, i was able to report everything to stay with you to analyze, to give my opinion and so on. sometimes, you know, in a very limited sense of the word, but, you know, to find what's going on and what the people say i'm, i'm a, val, thank you so much. joining us lie from moscow in russia, telling us some of the feeling down on the ground. what rush is a feeling about the russian evasion of ukraine today. thank you, man. i said, i conversation. are russian sorry, on what is happening in ukraine, the russian invasion, a special military operation. however you want to describe it? are they sorry on that? here is our comment section. the part of today shut

turning our conversation stanislaus natalia alberts. thank you for being part of ashley today vantage lab, welcome. please introduce yourself to audience around the world. really sure most go. i'm stanislaw bishop in political science and lecture at moscow state university at to have italia. welcome, please say hello to our audience around the world. hello, my name is natalia and i am president and founder of rush upon nation. get to have you an alpha. welcome to the stream. please introduce yourself to audience. hello, i'm a good time for my students. and so if it's a book and now i'm a runaway or refugee or emigrant into albert, natalie, i started off, i am just going to do a little recap status. laugh as to how we got from february the 24th to where we all right now. so every 24th, of course, was the date when russia invaded ukraine. and there was

a lot of pro government sentiment that jumped up. russians were very happy. many of them go to september. the 21st, that's when president vladimir putin announces his pan to mobilize 300000 troops. and then september and october, the protest. this protest breaking out, of course, russia and men fleeing the country cuz they're worried that they're going to be draft a status lab. when you talk to the students that you teach, when you discuss what is happening in ukraine, all they keen on how president putin is doing and how the russian military is doing right now. what are you hearing? well, generally speaking, my students are mostly foreign students, mostly from china, by the way, so we're not discussing the current issues very deeply. but at the same time, of course, people feel certain uneasiness when asking me as

a russian about the situation on the ground. and the general, of course, students are what they are, they want peace and they don't understand why the conflict between russia and ukraine could not be ended through diplomatic negotiations. so they just don't know. i do not understand why in the 21st century, we have to go to war or to special lives, reparation to decide our issues that, that the general point and about the, the current mood, let's say of the russians today. well, as margaret thatcher say there are said, there is no such thing as a society, right? so there are individual man, women and families. the same applies to russia. so some people back in february, they applauded. the idea of was launching the special needs reparation. but there were other people like myself who were really perplexed because i didn't see any

good outcome for, for this, for, for these, for these convene, you know, because i'm to pro ukrainian big, but because i'm for russian. so for russia and as my country, i don't see, and still i still do not see good outcomes for rush natalia, we have us who are watching right now and they have questions and thoughts. i'm going to share a couple of them with you. so this one comes from one of our view, as he says finally, russians are starting to realize the expansion is, was a thing of the past and only bring misery for both the attacking country and the defending country. that's an opinion for somebody who's been following what's been happening in russia and ukraine. italia, what are your thoughts? well, 1st of all, i think that the nitty important to call things as they are now and ration in

regional re grading didn't start on february 24th of your pocket and 14. we had an extension of what happened on february 24th was just the in you stage of this war, cale invasion of grain. and it's also important to understand that there are products that are opted in ration not just optimization, wasn't december by all this year. especially after the full scale invasion, the russians live, facing almost every day. there was only one day or 2, but then for june 15th, when no one was detained for. and i will protest. and that even before mobile is ations, that doesn't for thousands of people in jail, just for the sidewalk, the, with the head to the hundreds of thousands, the rush and hope lead russia before again, this model is ation on september 21. that was, it was there, if russia heard the printer for the moment, because again, there was

a lot of support from the war who didn't care what was happening because it is because again, those with them to the war were mostly for us. the region for russia mostly national republic, so many russians didn't feel the impact of the war. but when we started to, in fact, everybody of the family of $43.00 nation happening is now bigger. we have the most thought even bigger brought us. 6 even more locations, emergency vacations from russia, this 2 weeks i'll but i will be listening to, to russian reserve if they've been caught up to serve. and they seem quite happy about being caught up and being drafted. let me play their comments 1st of all and then i'd really like to hear why you decided you didn't want to fight for your country. they have listened to the service. it means it must be like this because

president putin has already answered this question. if he ordered mobile is ation, not a total, but a partial one, it means everything is not that scary. it means he knows what he's doing. he's a clever person. only fit up the full speed ahead for mother russia. this way, there is no fear any more. listen you albert, so you served in the army, you were formerly in the army, but you decided you were going to leave russia. so you don't get drafted in again. why? if up to being brought to the army 10 years ago, and after all my negative experience in the russian army, i became a political activists in the and to them in the beginning of the 20 and 2012. and so so it's the experience. so

the army and the experience of the state volumes that i suffered in the, in this, an army a made me made me a political activist. and so in the, in the 2020, to their reaction, my reaction as to which one is left liberal was those. and so, if you consider the president is a dictator, is you consider as your state as a race of state repressed of, for all form for the whole people. so that the war that was launched by the station by the president, the you, you see, to the criminal war in which you don't want to take part. i'm going to show up the popularity ratings of president putin as they've changed from august all the

way through to september. i'm going to show this for you so that you can see it at home or wherever you're viewing from. so is the country going in the right direction? 67 percent? yes, 60 percent. not so much. this is after the draft was announced. do you approve of putins activities as present a 3 percent? yes. in august then to 7 percent. not so much in september. these ratings are still high, sanisha have why? well, 1st of all, we're speaking about a tiny percentage of the population who actually agreed to answer these questions, especially in these times because to the best of my knowledge, it's about maybe only 2 in 10 persons about 20 percent just agreed to answer. and of course, if we agreed to answer, i'm there, let's say a cognizant or if they're afraid that they can make it wrong. so to speak,

answers. so the percentage of those who say that they support the current government or it's sections, i mean it's, it gives us some would distorted picture of course, of reality at the same time. if we do not see too much protests nowadays doesn't, doesn't mean that people once again, applaud what's going on. because back in the day, i mean let's, let's face it during this of the, most of the period of this. i mean, it's reparation. it was waged on the russian side by the professionals. maybe that's why it's called special new reparations. so special guys did the job, right. and so many people who were basically opposed to, to, to these a complex, they still remained in russia proper and didn't, didn't want to, to flee because they were against the,

but still it did not effect their lives so much. but when these impartial liberalization are, was announced, of course the, the, the realize that now it's, it's their problem not problem of military professionals in the same time for, for some, it gave teacher that something may be going not according to the original plan, right? if you have to draft more people to the army than well, something is maybe something is changing in the general attitude of the russian authorities on how to wage these nodes reparation. and how to, how to win as if it's possible. of course, i completely agree with the law that yes, it's very difficult to trust the opinion polls, especially when you have such press machine as a country. and as a denial of a question about the war or support to the gramlin geno

is much higher than the prior to the invasion. and the, as i said, rollo, the project immediately the see a lot of activity that people do in the ground that i love the derailing train or taking computer center from fi. and the just a lot of ethnic minority groups appeared to started to are in for inform the community about this the war and trying to explain how to terminate the contracts. how to avoid members ation like that because never had such a vibrant ethnic minority community. it because marcia is muslim, they live on time zone conference, but this also has over 190 minority millennials of them i use as a canon, ford by the clemens this sense, please read the chance of being sent through pain. if you republican read higher

than they got the region read what to do with you to die. and this for, for example, sort of that person from is 9 times more for the lesson from divine dance. i'm just now 3. so our oldest regions that software more and the people they're doing much more to start to save the community. so we see a little bit of vibrant activity. earlier we spoke to alina, alina is the director of the nordic ukraine forum. she had a very particular queen to view on the russian men who decided that they would rather flee russia than be drafted. this is what she told her. you are in the last month. there are thousands of people who live in the russia due to the mobility, zation and the country. they should stay in russia and europe shouldn't have opened the borders because the people have glorified before in ukraine. this people have

protested when the genocide was going on in bullshit being. and so the only thing that made them go to the street and go to europe was the fact that they will be killed in this war. moreover, for europe, it is a security issue because this people have the imperial colonial consciousness and tomorrow they will be ask him to have the russian goals where they are now. they are not weak. jim's, they are those who need to stop the voice that their country has started. i will, we have a, a number of people online who are trying to work out what pu, chines strategy is. and as a former member of the military, you might be able to help us out a little bit one view as says the putting became overconfident because in georgia, things went his way. and then again in crimea. and he thought he could do it a 3rd time again returning to ukraine. do you think that's the military strategy?

vanished too bad? he quickly way it would not expecting anybody to be upset about this for a move in what takeover didn't work that way. what he think outlet, oh my, all my military experience, my army armina experience had nothing to do with the military, with the army. it was just about the washing. com. oh. and so it was not, it was definitely the album you have about as much, much experience as the people in i you cheap comment section. so that's what they would say. i would say you probably have more than they do if i was, i wasn't, i wasn't even allowed to to, to take her to take her rifle by her. i think i, he, i want to move on to another. so he has done his life, and this is really about the economic impact of what this special military operation the russian invasion of ukraine is having on russia. this is yvonne,

she spoke to us a little bit earlier. there's been an ongoing to be as to whether western sanctions had been doing enough to hurt the russian economy. but with putin's recent mobilization decree and a legal annexation of 4 ukrainian territories, we've entered into a new phase of the war where the russian economy will be directed toward prioritizing war time efforts. and the russian workforce is facing at minimum, a loss of hundreds of thousands of workers. this is occurring at the same time, the global energy prices are falling, the e u, as preparing to ban purchases of russian oil and the west is preparing new sanctions and an oil price cap against russia. all of this will likely undermine consumer confidence and the long term growth potential of the russian economy. i'm wondering santa claus is the impact of sanctions. is that now impacting how russians are feeling about war in ukraine? well 1st of all, just for the record, i completely disagree with the statement by the previous sticker. the car you

credit for mail was said that all the russians are responsible. so i think these are view is cannibalistic. so it's sceptical, i think so. and to return to your question, well, generally speaking, of course, nowadays the prices are not kind of rocketing right. so, but a lot of people just tend to buy less and to save more because they nowadays they cannot plan for, for the future. so they're horizons of planning, so to speak, they shrunk from, let's say, a couple of years to a couple of weeks or a couple of days. that's the problem. moreover, when i ask those who are support in the special major ration i ask and simple question, do you realistically think than if we, when this,

when this fight, the regular russian people like us will live better and will be more secure then they would that when when we lived back prior to the 24th of february, can you release douglas say that these all met with regression will make us all more prosperous and more secure. and they are, let's say they are very uneasy in answering this question. they say something like, well, we don't know, it remains to be seen, but nobody said that, of course we will live more now happily and will have more prosperity. i want to bring one more voice into our conversation and that is the voice of president putin who here is addressing government and suggesting that it's the west who is committing war and atrocities against russia rather than russia do not in ukraine.

let's have a look at have a listen. let's go say me and i want to emphasize once again and precisely in its greed, and in the intention to maintain its unlimited power. there are real reasons for the hybrid war that the collective west is waging against russia. they don't want freedom for us. they want to see us as a colony. they don't want equal cooperation, but robbery. they want to see us not as a free society, but as a crowd of solace, slaves for them, what they see as a direct threat to them. our thought and philosophy therefore, the encroach on to our philosophers, our culture. an art is a danger to them and therefore they are trying to bandit with our development and prosperity is also a threat to them. competition is growing. they don't need russia at all, but we need her so much going on online. and i ye chief comment

section t t, there's no peace until russians leave. every inch of the canyon territory. putin let the russian people will be drained of their wealth and one more thought here, russia will pay the bill for the crimes committed against the crane. and also russians are good people in the presidency. that is the problem. so many thoughts going on hand on an online conversation, but thank you stanislaus, natalia and albert for helping us explore what russians feeling about the ukraine invasion at the moment. i'm watching everybody. i see next time they can witness inspiring films from around the world. they shall not stop the violin and kill the power is fast witness intimate portraits and epic struggles. because when

leadership is often vomited, not just the people witness the human spirit and the bitter reality. there fill men who believe women are a property witness award winning voices telling groundbreaking stories. witness on al jazeera, as more people admit to suffering from anxiety and depression to day al jazeera, well, it meets women using art and dance therapy to address that problems. are sensors are the dates to the words. and if we are not training our senses, we lose the words and trust me, let go. you can do it until you are 90 or hundreds. the colors of healing on al jazeera sculptures, paintings and other unique pieces in the nation capital. hundreds of people taking a look. indonesia, visual ad saying was hit hard by the pandemic galleries were closed and had to

exhibit their collections online for many celebrate to return to the way things were. this also room for incarnations not seen before. more than 60 galleries from indonesia and elsewhere in asia articulating eager to meet collectors and artists from around the world with new artist, new modes, and new pieces on display. the fare is a dynamic celebration of the resilience of the industry. the tantalizing hint of was yet to come. a british political party at war with the labor party is a criminal conspiracy against its members. newly obtained documents reveal members silenced, suspended, and forced that. mike gordon says unbelievable. free speech was shot down. an exclusive investigation, the labor files are 2 on al jazeera blue.
