SOCHI, Russia On Feb. 23, Razil Malikov, a tank driver in the Russian army, called his family and said he would be home soon; his units military drills in Crimea were just about wrapping up.
The next morning, Russia invaded Ukraine, and Malikov hasnt been heard from since. On Monday, Ukraine published a video of a captured soldier in his unit, apologizing for taking part in the invasion.
He had no idea they could send him to Ukraine, Malikovs brother, Rashid Allaberganov, said in a phone interview from the south-central Russian region of Bashkortostan. Everyone is in a state of shock.
The reality of war is dawning across Russia.

(15,325 posts)It may be a threat or it may not.. that's the problem with predicting the acts of a madman, i guess.
I'll take it as a warning, however.
I'd be fleeing if the means were availible.
Yikes.
