The irony is that even Elon Musk’s own AI can fact-check him and explain why he’s wrong.
Russia hasn't launched another mass mobilization since 2022. Instead, it relies heavily on paid contract soldiers.
In 2025 alone, Russia recruited an estimated 364,000 contract soldiers. In 2026, it's still recruiting around 20,000–30,000 a month, offering signing bonuses averaging over $20,000, plus salaries and benefits.
By claiming Russians “have no choice,” Musk once again shows how little he understands Russian society. Widespread corruption, bribery, and draft evasion have allowed many Russians to avoid military service for years.
Many Russians aren't being forced to fight. They're signing up for money.
Coercion exists, but so does financial motivation. Hundreds of thousands are signing contracts to fight for money.

This is Kherson. A Russian drone operator hunts down a civilian fruit vendor and attacks him.
The Russian with the controller knows and sees what he is doing. A vile sadist, a subhuman, deliberately steers the drone at the poor man.
Reportedly, he survived.
Hi @FoxNews — small clarification.
We appreciate that international media such as FOX News highlight the effective work of interceptor drones. The footage shown in this segment features STING — a Ukrainian interceptor drone developed by engineers at Wild Hornets and used by Ukrainian air defense units to destroy Shahed-type drones.
This result is the outcome of a long and difficult path taken by Wild Hornets engineers together with Ukrainian soldiers, and we would be grateful if these achievements remained properly credited.
We also deeply appreciate all the support we receive and are very grateful for the trust people place in our work.
You can see more interception footage and feedback from Ukrainian soldiers on our page.

In Beijing, both military groups supporting Xi Jinping and those supporting Zhang Youxia have gathered in Beijing and its surrounding areas. At the same time, the two major command centers are already confronting each other in Beijing and its surrounding areas, and civil war is imminent.
While there are many good ideas in the proposed Russia-Ukraine peace plan, there are several areas that are very problematic and can be made better.
The goal of any peace deal is to end the war honorably and justly - and not create new conflict.
Finally, to the world: what about the fate of the almost 20,000 Ukrainian children kidnapped by Putin’s forces? This issue has to be addressed in any negotiated settlement.

Witkoff says eastern #Ukraine should belong to #Russia because its residents speak Russian.
The reason they speak Russian is because the Soviets depopulated the area of Ukrainians and repopulated it with Russians.
It’s the Russians who need to return to Russia, not the land.
