NSFW: Russians Are Smashing Their Arms With Sledgehammers And Snapping Their Legs In Half To Avoid Being Mobilized For Putin's Invasion of Ukraine
Young Russian men are breaking their limbs and posting footage of the bone-shattering blows online as they seek to avoid going to war in Ukraine.
While some would-be draft-dodgers fled the country in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s “partial mobilisation”, others have taken to mutilating themselves to avoid being forced to join the Russian armed forces.
The victim stands up with his arm hanging limply by his side.
It is unclear whether the blow was sufficient enough to break the reservist’s arm and perhaps prevent him from being sent to Ukraine.
As two women inspect the wounded man’s arm, the sledgehammer-wielding friend asks: “What do you mean… I didn’t?”
Another shocking video of apparent draft-dodging shows a man appearing to break his friend’s leg.
The unwilling soldier lies at the bottom of a stairwell with his foot resting on the bottom step.
The friend climbs up towards the top of the staircase then jumps down, landing on the leg bone and stamping it into the ground.
In the short clip, the wounded man could be seen grimacing in agony as the friend pulled his jumper over his head in apparent shock.
I was scrolling the ole internet, I think Instagram, and I came across one of these videos. I legit yelped when I saw it. The leg was normal until it completely wasn't. The young dude started screaming bloody murder and his friend stood there in shock seeing his friend's leg, which the young dude had leaped into the arm and came down with full force on the shin, was in fact broken.
We've all heard those adages about a draft. "I'd rather shoot myself in the foot." "I'll cut off one of my fingers." Anytime there's a war and people are getting called up that don't want to go, you'll see some extreme injuries. What makes this different is that even these Russian conscripts know what lies behind the other door. The Russians are leaving people stranded, they've lost at least 50k troops, and a new report indicates that nearly 1.5 million cold weather uniforms were destroyed or lost. Guess what? It's about to be really cold in Russia and Ukraine.

PS: And if you're a sick fuck, the video can be seen if you google it but I wouldn't.
