In Russia, the patience of soldiers’ families is paying off, Russian women are protesting for the return of their husbands and sons who have been posted in Ukraine for a long time.

The Russia-Ukraine war is continuing to drag on, causing a lot of trouble to the armies on both sides. While the soldiers on both sides are getting bored due to long deployment, their family members are also getting very upset while waiting for them. Due to this, the patience of those women in Russia whose husbands and sons have been posted in Ukraine for more than a year is wearing thin. According to reports, Russian women want to demonstrate from city to city but they are not getting permission. Due to this, Russian women are making videos and raising questions on the military policy of their country. Such videos are also going viral these days. Russian women say they need their husbands and sons. Russian women are saying that the government should allow the soldiers stationed in Ukraine for a long time to return home. Russian women say that it is necessary for soldiers to stand firm in the battlefield but it is not necessary that the same person should stand at one place till the last moment or indefinitely.

According to reports, anger is rising among women everywhere in Russia. Women are saying that the soldiers have honestly shed blood for their country so now the time has come for them to return to their families and send someone else on deployment but the government is not paying attention to this. It is being told that on November 19, a rally was organized in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk in which the speech given was released online which is now being heard all over Russia. It is being told that this women’s movement is a rare example of the Russian public’s resentment towards the war, which the Kremlin has tried to suppress through harsh laws. There are reports that the Russian government is keeping an eye on those who want to hold such demonstrations. It is being told that the Russian government is maintaining great restraint because it wants to avoid sending any soldier’s relative to jail. It is being told that instead of arresting or detaining the angry women of the soldiers’ families, the Russian government has adopted the path of intimidation. For example, permission to hold rallies was refused in several major cities. It is being told that people from the Russian government have contacted those who responded on social media platforms. Some people reported that law enforcement officials visited their homes to inquire about their online activity and warn them about the legal consequences of participating in unauthorized rallies.

A key focus of the protest movement has been a channel on the Telegram messaging app called “Put Domoy” or “The Way Home” in Russian, which has attracted more than 14,650 participants since it was set up in September. Is. Some women on this channel have stated in their online posts that the government has offered more money and benefits to the families of soldiers. The women say they agree to pay us even more, but only if we keep quiet. The women said that they needed their husbands and sons, not money.

There are also reports that the reason behind authorities not allowing Russian women to demonstrate or agitate is that the restrictions imposed on public gatherings to combat COVID-19 have not yet been lifted. Due to this, people are holding meetings in small groups, carrying posters or banners and giving their message to the country and the world in a unique way. Russian women say that the government has drowned us in a sea of ​​despair. The protesting groups are insisting that they are not traitors and that they also respect the law. They say they are just asking when our people will come back. Let us tell you that when the Russian government implemented “partial mobilization” in September 2022, 300,000 people were called. It was then said that those recruited would have to remain in the army until President Putin decided that they could be discharged.

However, let us also remind you that an anti-war movement united around women who opposed the war in Chechnya was an important factor in pushing the Kremlin to end the war there. So now Russian authorities are ensuring that no such national movement emerges from the current protests.
