Russia's first military mobilization since World War II, which mandates thousands of Russian men to serve in the nation's ongoing war against Ukraine, has been met with severe resistance. The catastrophic outcome of the mobilization is apparent in several videos that have surfaced on the internet where women can be seen chasing away police officers in violent clashes.
