Russian draft exiles live in fear of discovery abroad | Focus on Europe 

These are smarter Russians that don't want to die for putin

I admire them for not wanting to fight for an unjust cause and a pig of a man. I would've ran away too, and have a clear conscious for the rest of my life.

I have to give credit to this news agency for actual concealing these guy’s identity. I’ve seen some who barely cover faces or disguise voices.

"Many live in constant fear". That sounds a lot like Ukrainian civilians being targeted by Ruzzian artillery and rockets.

God Bless you young men .. Men of peace 🙏

But sadly many of them still support Putin's activity and just trying to avoid being drafted

It takes more courage to take a stance that contradicts the accepted narrative in society, than to just follow the other sheep to the front line. These men did well.

Canada has a tradition of protecting draft dogers and there's at least one case of accepting Russian draft dogers. Pay in Canada is pretty good. We really need tradesmen, or people willing to learn trades. Fully qualified, in Alberta Canada, skilled trades can make $60,000 to $250,000. Housing starts around $150,000 for an Edmonton condo that's well built compared to Russian standards because Canada's building code is pretty good.

Important thing is, those people given a choice of living in exile or being imprisoned upon return, have all the motivation in the world to support the downfall of the current regime.

I saw a video 19 year russian boy broke his own arm his brother and friend help him😢 with big iron Rod.

Stop the war 😔

He and others are as responsible for ruzzias war as those in ruzzia. They didn't anything to stop ruzzia from invading.

He is a very brave man 💪

What a shame of a country.

"i don't want to kill people" actually means "i don't want to die"

How many times lolensky has mobilized?? DW do you have any information 😅😅

Imagine living in a country with insane dictator like Putler where you can have military coming to your home at any time and taking you to the front line to find a certain death in a meaningless war

Russia should say they want to focus on taking care of their own citizens for once. This constant offensive threats to its neighbors in Europe doesn’t help their citizens. Imagine being 60 living through collapsing USSR and now the Fed to be called up to fight your own cousins. This conflict will only bring more Misery and loss blood and treasure.

much better to leave russia ,

This a repost of an older video but I think the original one was talking about 3 guys. Maybe I am wrong

It’s your duty to die in a Ukrainian field for no reason!

It is ridiculous that in this day and age countries like Russia and Ukraine (and in Ukraine's case lock all their men in) are allowed to catch and throw their unwilling men into combat and that simply saying 'I want no part of your war' isn't an option.

Thou shall not kill...God bless u buddy

The first guy isn't a conscript. He is a contractor. That means he'd been taking the military's money for a while and now he, all of a sudden, has qualms about serving when called?

Everyone's OK with the system until it calls their name to sacrifice.

Join the fight to oust Adolph jr. Putin

Good dude

I would prefer to exchange them for just as many so-called Russia-Germans who became the great Putin Apostles and AfD supporters in our country.

Deserters are not heroes. Its one thing to flee war, breaking your oath is something else.

Being a soldier is not for everybody. Even if Putin successfully recruited these dudes. They'll just end up de4d in the battlefield. For sure they can help society in their own way

Interestingly enough Eritrean military deserters are given asylum across the world and those from Russia are not.

Yeah. Walking around hiding your face while everyone else is in shorts and a t shirt is a great idea

He doesn't even look fit to kill a Mosquito lol There are better and more ferocious Recruits in Wagner from Africa, Iran,Serbia,Russia,Belarus, Afghanistan,Iran etc Even Indian and Nepali Gurkha Regiments also Joined in

what about zlenskyy Draft . Putin and zlenskyy both are crazy.

How on earth do they still man the front?

Understandable but they just dont want to fight.

😂This is some bs nobody is being forced to go to war in Russia

Is this video a repost? I could swear I saw this already about a week ago on this channel.

The americans didnt dare to do this during the vietnam war. just shows how bad situation was in USA at the time

Yes, indeed many defects in Tiblisi. Why not other neighbouring nations? Belarus or Moldova? Central Asian ex-Comnunist countries must be hosting many, too. We pray the ceasefire is sought by Ukraine.

Brave men both.

There are millions of Ukrainians all over Europe, many living in hotels, who dodged the Ukraine mobilisation.

Others ran off to Phuket Thailand

Hopefully one day all men will say "I don't want to kill anyone" , never fight a war for someone else's wealth ....Zulu

Just don't show up...

Ye, its better to live than die for Putin. I agree. It "not at all clear" that dying for PUtin is the right thing to do. why take such a risk?

Georgia is not abroad Peru would be abroad

Oh no, poor little cowards

Georgia... Europe's Canada. Russian's are fighting the wrong enemy.

It’s sad that they still feel fear. Men who have fled often talk about feeling safe for the first time in days or weeks. Return to Russia for these 2 will only be possible if Putin is removed from power.

Russia knows exactly where you are, gimme a break.

Any person who runs out of his country when they need him or her does not have the right blood to live in that country.

Likely he does not only want to kill people, but not to die in a worthless war.

Now do the same In ukraine as people are being round up And Sent to the Frontline unwillingly.😡

Good for him! He’d probably be dead by now in Ukraine

Blame victoria nuland, and boris johnson

"Igor" isn't an ethnic Russia slav. What is he?

Annoying background music

Really inspiring story guys, now Can I get a real story from a real person about not wanting to die from f****** artillery fire.

Why conquer Ukraine when Georgia accepts without fight?

See, there are good Russians too..

Not only Russian, but Ukrainian did the same thing enmasse. In Bali, Indonesia, flocks of Russian and Ukrainian crowded the island, they live side by side, sometimes they drunk and caused some troubles together

Imagine caring more about buying a car than the lives of Ukrainians.

Somehow, Russians deserve Putin, but most near by countries do not deserve a neighbor like Putin.

The same is happening in Ukraine with forced inscription of Ukrainian men. It seems the common person doesnt want to go to war only the rich pyschopaths with share in weapons manufacturers

I am sure that there are a million Ukrainian as well dodging the draft.. this is not the story you think it is... 😂😂😂😂

this guys should be much more afraid of racist/jealous/hateful Europeans

Its hard for me to really feel sorry for the guy that signed up for the military on his own because that’s the chance that he took. It’s a trap. How many young Americans have been caught having to fight in pointless wars under the same circumstances?

They could also join the Russian Legion in Ukraine and fight for Russia's freedom from there.

History Even and I don't want to be a Soldier to conguer another one Peaceful Country... Unlimited Proxy Buissness Evil's War's Geographically Politically Repeatedly on this tiny Planet Earth...it's so SAD...

dont hide, ¡FIGHT PUTIN!

the guy runs asks for asylum and is rejected, wtf does nato expects the russians to do? Its either jail, ukraine or run, there should be a plan for immigration from russia to the nato countries for who wants to, mass immigration is a problem but so is the russian army having millions of soldiers and constant replenishment of troops

Don’t they think Russias hand are a little full right now???

Good luck, Gentlemen. At least, they don’t want to be murderers. 😏

He is not high-value enough for Russia to pursue abroad. Nobody is going to Novichok him. He should relax and try some Georgian wine and look for other paid DW token interviewee opportunities.

IS THIS IN RUSSIA OR AMERICA! ALL WOKES LOOK THE SAME.

His personnel data? Surely that should be his personal data.

Now talk about ukranian draft dodgers. Why don’t you

Igor can fly to Thailand or any other visa free country for the Russians.

Power to the guy who doesn't want to kill people, but his fear is the price he deserves for political incompetence and passivity. It is nothing compared to what Ukraine is paying with every day.

There are many Ukrainens between18 and 60 living in Europe outside Ukraine. It's illegal according to Ukraine law after Feb 22,2022.

He feared in abroad 😅 but dw showing, where they live 😂

Slava 🇺🇦

This war is a shame . Mothers and wifes ate selling their family man's. They have great wages and life ensure , a Ukrainian soldier os worth 400.000 euros a fortune can't understand how is possible for Ukraine to pay . Ukrainian man are afraid to leave home because of conscription ove been there and i saw it 😢 so many people without arms and legs 😢

Just came back from a vacation in Cannes and there was tons of Russian dudes of all ages there enjoying the beach.

How will the patriotic and brave young people in Germany respond to the draft when called upon by the German government to once again fight a war in Russia again, should be the concern.

Imagine living peacefully and suddenly the government forces you to invade another country and very likely die. If I was Russian I'd escape to America, appear on CNN and write a book on the ordeal. Live Life MY OWN WAY 🇺🇸🇺🇸

"I'm afraid they will find me so I'm hiding. I'm not afraid to 💀 or get locked up....I just don't want to unalive ppl" Some math ain't MATHING

These two young men need a break! There have to be some countries out of this region who can give them asylum.

As long as Ukraine strikes offensively towards the Russian lines I see zero reason for Russia to advance. They should and seem to be happy to sit on their defensive lines and whittle away at Ukrainian men and armor. This is a tactic Ukraine simply cannot afford to continue to do for a long period without massive loss of combat effectiveness. Then and only then in my opinion we will see Russia make a large move.🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Your actually reporting the Ukrainian situation. 180° spin.

The broadcast was a focus on the people themselves, who expressed no opinion as the the justness or unjustness of Moscow's war against its neighbouring country. It was about survival. I'm curious, where are the Moskali who are outraged? In a totalitarian country, I imagine them isolated and voiceless; however, what of Moskali abroad?

Putin should be looking in Bali Indonesia, heaps of Russians there, so I’ve been told.

Completely understandable. What young man would want to live in Russia at this point? Not even Oligarch's children want to.

a brave man. It's at a time of fear where you show you are brave. are you brave when you make your coffee and a boiled egg? Or are you brave when people rob someone and you stand in fear. This metaphorical example is why bravery will show its true face in the face of a terrible event unfolding

He is a German moking the Russian, someone from DW spy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Russian draft exiles should go to Ukraine if they wish to know WHAT the "draft exiles" life really looks like LOL

Glory to RUSSIAN always 🇷🇺 Z ❤️ V 🎉 Ukraine Will Loose Eventually Zelenkys NATO 💥

The last 3 years of being technologically targetted by former Australian Federal Police officers and American conspirators has exposed me to a vast amount of technological communication and direct technology targeting experience involving satellites. It has been proven that The Federal Bureau of Investigation control a large number of United States government satellites that orbit the world equipped with the 2 types of advanced technology that is under FBI control and that both technology types are used very frequently in this period of time. One kind of technology is thought-reading remote neural monitoring with come with transmit thoughts mode. The second kind of technology involves energy beams that have 2 function; one is to transfer positive or negative vital energy(chi in Chinese) particles that increases or decreases the human targets energy level. The second function is to transfer the mental and personality energies between 2 separate human targets anywhere on the worlds surface in what can be described as human energy swapping.
