Putin is told to ‘go the front line yourself – and die’ by wives of mobilised Russian soldiers amid growing backlash over his Ukraine war

Vladimir Putin has been told to ‘go to the frontline yourself – and die’ by the wives and girlfriends of mobilised Russian soldiers.

They demand that he ends the slaughter in Ukraine amid an upsurge in protest in his country against the war he triggered almost two years ago.

In the message on Telegram channel The Way Home, which demands a return of mobilised men, they tell the dictator: ‘Vladimir [Putin], what have you brought people to?

‘We Russians have no hope left under your leadership.

‘Finish your work and sit down at the negotiating table.’

Another woman told on video how her wounded husband was being forced back to the war by Putin’s commanders, when he needs urgent hospital treatment. Her case was highlighted by The Way Home channel

The women’s protest channel slammed Putin’s reasons for staging a war which is estimated to have killed and maimed over 300,000 Russians, amid clear signs of a female backlash against forced mobilisation.

The Way Home asked: ‘What the hell are denazification and demilitarisation?’

‘Do you yourself understand what you are talking about?

‘Every time you say these words, people die.

‘Let us live in peace!

‘Or go to the front yourself – and die.’

They said Putin would never do this.

‘This will not happen, because the interests [of the authorities] must be served at the expense of the soldiers – ordinary Russians.

‘How cynical do you have to be to continue this bacchanalia and put a good face on a bad game?

‘Won’t you stop until you kill all the young ones?’

The channel highlights one mobilised soldier Alexander Shpilevoy, 27, who tells Putin on video: ‘Just let them go home, everybody wants to go home, everybody really wants to go home.’

In a video, wife and mother Paulina ridiculed Putin for naming 2024 as the Year of the Family in Russia – when he has torn families asunder by forcing men to war

He told how Russian propaganda says that Ukrainian soldiers are sent to war like ‘meat’ – yet this was exactly what was happening in Russia.

The mobilised ‘don’t give a damn at all’ about Putin’s justification for the war, Shpilevoy said.

He mocked Putin’s aim of invading to ‘demilitarise’ Ukraine, warning this aim was leading to a Russian bloodbath.

‘I’d like to believe it, I’d like to believe it, but I don’t, about the goals of the [war], about the goals of demilitarisation,’ he said.
