Stings, the Russian girl cries without stopping until her father is recruited to fight in Ukraine

The Russian president has paved the way for up to 1 million Russians to be recruited to the armed forces and sent to fight in Ukraine.

The images record a child, seemingly a girl, shouting at him, even though the images are faint after one of the recruits says: Bye, Dad. Please come back. Father, goodbye, Father... Dad...? )

The child cries without comfort as her father goes away somewhere in a group of men, some never to return.

One claim was that these men who are close to the Ukrainian border in the Belgorod region would be the first of the newly drafted fronts, but everyone is supposed to have at least a month of training first.

Separately, university students are seen in a video marching by police from their lecture theatres towards war service in Ulan-Ude, Burythia already one of the most hit regions for the bloodshed in Putin's war.

The scene at the State Bureau University came a day after Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu had pledged that higher education students would not be registered.

On Thursday, despot Putins announced that 300,000 people with previous combat experience or specialised skills will be sent to the front line in Ukraine, where the first groups will be seen kissing their loved ones goodbye today.

However, the official order was published with an ominously empty paragraph. Putin's spokesman says it has to do with the number that can be called, and a source within the presidential palace now claims he says "1 million."

The document also does not mention previous combat experience and imposes no restrictions on who might be called, except on those who are very old, sick, or in prison, opening the door for almost anyone to call.
