As the war between Ukraine and Russia continues, Russians have started to take a stand by protesting against the draft. These protests have been in many of Russia’s major cities, with some in Dagestan getting considerable attention. Protests on Saturday turned violent, resulting in more than 700 people being arrested for inducing violence against Russian authorities. People reported police officers openly firing rifles in the air to try and control the massive groups of protesters. Multiple videos of these arrests were recorded and posted to many social media platforms. One of these videos shows groups of people chanting and screaming at officers, asking them why Russia needed a draft if they were doing the initial invasion, which many Russian natives disagreed with. While the future of the war between Russia and Ukraine is uncertain, it is clear that many Russians do not back the decisions being made by the Russian government.
