"Kommersant": airport employees began to massively receive subpoenas to the military registration and enlistment offices
After the announcement of partial mobilization in Russia, employees of airlines and airports began to receive summons to the military registration and enlistment offices en masse. Employers actively began to book employees from the draft. Kommersant writes about this, citing its sources.

According to the newspaper, employees of at least five Russian airlines, including the Aeroflot group, and more than ten airports received summons to the military enlistment office after the announcement of partial mobilization in Russia on September 21. Their employers are actively working on listing for reservations, with the procedure reportedly unclear. So, the lawyers of the companies do not have an understanding of where it is more expedient to transfer the lists - to the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Transport or local authorities, reports " Kommersant" .

According to the newspaper, most of the interlocutors note that the exemption from conscription is critical not only for pilots and air traffic controllers, but also for technical, commercial and IT specialists. According to them, flights without these workers will stop. So, according to sources in three companies, 50-80% of employees can potentially be mobilized.

In particular, a source close to the Aeroflot group estimates the number of “potential recruits” in all three carriers, including Rossiya and Pobeda, to more than half the state, the newspaper reports. According to the interlocutors, the possible mobilization of technical specialists (IT-specialists and employees of commercial departments) is more of a concern, since "this will paralyze the work."

Hungary announced the start of construction of a nuclear power plant with Rosatom
Budapest received permission to build the Paks nuclear power plant in cooperation with the Russian state corporation Rosatom . Hungarian Foreign Minister Petr Szijjarto told Lentu.ru about this on the sidelines of the 77th UN General Assembly .

“We have received final approval for the construction of our new nuclear power plant, which we will build in accordance with our contract with Rosatom. I am going to meet Director General Mr. Likhachev on Monday in Vienna on the sidelines of the IAEA Congress , and we will draw up a schedule for the coming months and years,” Szijjártó said.

According to him, the project is planned to be completed by 2030.

In August, Hungary refused to recognize Rosatom as a threat to the country's security. According to Szijjarto, the Russian state corporation is a reliable and proven partner of Hungary. “We have been using Russian technologies in the nuclear field for 40 years. And over these 40 years, we have received a lot of positive experience,” the politician stressed.

In December 2014, Russia and Hungary signed a contract worth 12 billion euros for the construction of two units of the Paks nuclear power plant. To implement the project, Moscow had to provide Budapest with a loan of up to 10 billion euros. The funds were planned to be spent on paying for the supply of equipment, design, construction and commissioning of power units.

Hungary refuses to support new sanctions against Russia
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto refused to support new sanctions against Russia , a Lenta.ru correspondent reports from the sidelines of the 77th UN General Assembly .

According to him, the country sees no "reasonable reasons" for another round of sanctions, especially when it comes to energy. “Energy is a really clear red line for us. We are not ready to force the Hungarian people to pay for a war for which they are absolutely not responsible,” the minister said.

Szijjártó added that Hungary will not make decisions that are contrary to the national interests of the state. He also noted that the European economy is approaching a recession. "And since we don't want the Hungarian people to pay the price of war, we also don't want the European people to pay the price of war," he said.

Earlier, the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry said that if the European Union continues to impose sanctions against Russia, this will lead to an increase in the energy crisis in the union. “The EU must stop mentioning the introduction of the eighth package of sanctions, stop introducing measures that will only deepen the energy supply crisis,” he urged.

And were we not protecting religions? He would never had the gall. Big words from a small country.
The British never had a problem recruiting in India during WW2, many of the troops in the middle east and in southeast Asia, knocking on Japan's rear Door were Indian volunteers, while Uncle Sam was kicking down their front door. Chruchill was the leader of the British Empire and its dominions, Canada gifted the UK a billion dollars' worth of food and war material before America entered the war or had Lend lease. That would be a lot of cash in today's dollars, and it was a gift, not a loan. At the end of WW2 Canada had the third largest navy in the world.

In short Britian had no shortage of Indian volunteers for a brutal war, while Russia is having a lot of trouble drafting people. Even in colonial India, they had the rule of law and Indian judges and lawyers by then, as liberal democracy was spreading there too. Gandhi's nonviolence only worked because Brition was a liberal democracy and Gandhi was a British trained lawyer.

Over a million views already.

It's odd that we know more about how putin is waging this war than his own people do.
It's incredible how easy it is to keep people in the dark when you control the media.
Now he's run out of ethnic minorities to kill, and has to draft "real" russians, and the real russians are crashing headlong into reality.
what will they do in response?

Anybody in danger of being drafted is trying to find out everything they can about the true situation in Ukraine, many know already, especially those under 40, there are plenty of VPNs in Russia and the TOR darkweb browser was created for them to download. A cellphone or laptop with a video can be a wireless hotspot and broadcast or stream it to another dozen phones closeby.

Information is not hard for younger people to get or figure out a way to get in today's world. Just as the internet had an effect in free countries, it might have a more profound one in places like Russia, this is its first test you could say and the draft could be the fuse that lights the powder keg, or those around Vlad think it might. As Stalin said, get rid of the man and you get rid of the problem, that dictum might be applied to Vlad by his ex-KGB buddies. I think a massive dose of LSD in his borscht would be the best solution, drag Vlad out of the Kremlin in public blubbering wild eyed in a strait jacket and off to a mental hospital somewhere east of the Urals. The stress was too much for poor Vlad and he lost mind!

I suspect it is a bad time to be a junior officer in the Russian army.
