The mother of a Russian soldier killed fighting Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine has called for an end to the conflict, as she said she believed mothers would rise up against the Russian leader.
Valya, who spoke to BBC News using a pseudonym for safety reasons, said she is in contact with soldiers' mothers across Russia. She said many of the mothers blame the Kremlin for the ongoing conflict and the deaths of their sons.
The distraught Russian mother told the BBC's Russia editor, Steve Rosenberg, that she last heard from her son more than four and a half months ago, with little to no communication from officials on his whereabouts after he was deployed to neighboring Ukraine in February.
"They [Russian mothers] hate the government, they hate Putin," Valya said. "They all want this war to end."
Valya said she believes that eventually, the mothers of soldiers killed in Ukraine will rise up against Putin over his war, which he calls a "special military operation."
"If the mothers of all the soldiers who are fighting there and the ones who've lost sons, if they all rose up, can you imagine how big that army would be? And they will. Their nerves will snap," she said.

Trust me, this happens here all the times. It's why I don't bother commenting anyone. Apparently folks here are isles of knowledge.
I was just reading about USS Arizona yesterday, and I saw his name on the Wikipedia article. I didn't know this is going to be the next news I'd read about him.
Chibudollar: The man from Toronto is one funny action packed movie. I highly recommend if you have not seen it. Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson finished work
Wow. I just downloaded on Netflix yesterday. I didn't know what to expect. I'm gonna go watch it right away .
IFezki96: Having the same issue also. Happened yesterday,I transferred into my uba account, but i am yet to be credited while my other account has been debited. UBA is not a reliable bank.
Having the same issue also.
I have gone to the bank to complain. I even printed my statement of account and I couldn't see anything similar to that particular transaction. The sender has gone to their own bank to complain and their statement of account proved it successfully.
I don't know what purgatory UBA's got my money in.

TrollsNeverDies: Guys I just checked Lupita Nyong'O's profile on Wikipedia and how the heck am i suppose to believe she's fuccking 39 years? This is so unbelievably as she looks so fuccking young
Check Crystal Reeds too. It fascinates me when I see celebrities who look too young for their age.
Kingpin1000: This kind yeye democracy dem want the world to follow. You can't try such in China or Russia, Xi or Putin will hunt even your family members. America needs to go back to God, they've forgotten the ways of their forefathers.
Like crimes don't happen in those countries?? Only reason why you don't hear about it is because they are closed countries. You can barely hear anything about 'em. They even tried to cover COVID-19 so whatchu talking about.
If the US were to censor everything on web you'd also think they are the safest country in the world.
